    I went to bed last night and everything was fine. I had windows 10 home. Now, I have a watermark on my screen and it's claiming I'm on windows 10 pro, which I didn't buy so I don't have a product key for.

    How can I revert this change I didn't make?

    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.
