    Windows 10 clean install problem re: Edition


    After reading various articles I decided to do a clean install of Windows 10 as opposed to an upgrade.


    I went to Windows and downloaded and installed Media Creation Tool. No problem with either but when I ran the program it showed
    a space to select what edition of Windows 10 I wanted to install.


    I have Windows 7 professional installed with a license number but the media creation tool only gave me the option of Windows 10.


    Please advise.

    *** Email address is removed for privacy *** 10 CLEAN INSTALL PROBLEM RE: EDITION

    Windows 10 Home and Windows Pro are in that single option called 'Windows 10'

    Click in the Edition list box then choose your edition then click
    Next.

    • Windows 10 - contains both Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro editions.
    • Windows 10 N - only select this edition if you reside in
      Europe, it does not contain Windows Media Player. It contains Windows 10 Home N and Windows 10 Pro N.
    Please read the following: Fix
    Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from Defaulting to Home Instead of Pro

    WARNING: If you are running
    Windows 8.1 with Bing edition, please use the Microsoft TechBench website to download
    Windows 10 SL, see instructions further down in this article.

    Windows 10 clean install problem re: Edition

    Windows 10 includes both Home and Pro versions. When you start the install, select "I don't have a product key" and the next choice will be if you want to install Home or Pro.
