Windows 10: Win 10 has ambitions. Went from an activated Win10 Home to an unactivated Windows Enterprise

So, I had a PC built for me. Went through the setup in the usual way. Install went well and I was at the desktop.I tried to reuse a Win 10 Pro key as I have a number of spare ones from retired systems. It didn't accept them so I bought a Windows 10 Home key from the Microsoft Store. I went to change key the key being blank at that point and entered the freshly purchased code. Windows activated as Home edition and all was well - until I rebooted.The install thinks it is Enterprise edition and that no key has been entered. Trying to change to the Home product key does not work failing with 0

Windows 10 Pro - windows sandbox shows unactivated Windows 10 Enterprise

if that's the case, why in the world did they give this feature to w10pro users.... this seems like a feature more useful to win10 enterprise users.

also… if I did have w10 enterprise, would the sandbox copy still be unactivated?

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

I am unable to activate windows 10 enterprise I have upgraded from windows 7 ultimate,

I tried the auto activate after installing win10 but it asked for my product key when I put my win 7 ultimate key in it would not accept it,

I acquired a key on answers Microsoft site <Removed PII> but this key gives me error 0x8007007B

how can I rectify this or will I have to go back to win 7
