Windows 10: Windows 10 Activation problem on my PC with Windows 10 Home digital but Windows 10 Pro...

My laptop PC has Windows 10 Pro installed on it but not activated. When I tried to activate the windows, I got a message with “Error Code: 0x8007007B”. A further troubleshoot indicated that I have a digital license for Windows 10 Home, but Windows 10 Pro is installed thereby not allowing the Windows to activate. An instruction was further given that to enable me to activate using my digital license, I will need to install Windows 10 Home. I followed the detailed instruction and using the tool described, I created the installation media, run it to reinstall the correct Windows 10 Home on the PC, which has the digital license for Windows 10 Home but Windows 10 Pro installed. However, the installation does not provide me with an option to select “install windows 10 Home” rather it automatically defaults to “upgrade to Windows 10 Pro” thereby not allowing me to make the clean “installation of Windows 10 Home” on the PC to enable me to activate the windows. Kindly advise me on what to do to enable me to resolve this matter and to activate my PC. Thanks. Mr. Bumba.

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

Hi!

I signed up in the windows insider program and got windows 10 free - the windows 10 insider preview updated to windows 10 pro.
Today i got another SSD and did a raid 0 on my system forcing me to do a clean install of windows but now it wont activate anymore.
Signing in with my microsoft account that was linked to the insider program didnt help.
Maybe i got this problem since i quit the insider program for several days and signed up again after i found out that my win 10 wont activate anymore.
Any ideas how to fix it?

I bought Windows 7 Pro OEM key from G2Play.net for 12€ to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro - worked like a charm but be advised if you buy a OEM key you can not download the Win 7 iso from microsoft and have to get it elsewhere.

How long did you wait for activation?
When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
However, it did, finally, activate.
