    OK never mind, I just reinstalled Windows selecting the correct version and it was automatically activated. Now I'm in for another day of tweaking and reinstalling all programs *Wink

    Thanks.

  2. Hi,


    I have a Windows 10 Home licence and I just reinstalled Windows. I have foolishly selected Windows Home 10 N instead of Windows Home 10 and now my Windows won't activate.



    I only noticed that after having configured Windows and reinstalled tons of programs. Is there a way I can activate this version of Windows? Or can I install Windows 10 Home without losing any of my programs and settings?

    :)

  3. Windows 10 home activation

    I have a windows 7 home basic product key but I don't have a win 7 installer and am not ready to download a n iso image.

    I have win 10 home, pro installer and when I installed win 10 home it says that the key is blocked. {Waited for 4 days but still it won't activate.}

    Windows 10 Home N won't activate

    Windows 10 activation issue (Win7>Win10 upgrade version)

    I contacted the live online support and it seems I'd installed Windows 10 Home N, and whatever the N signifies. Re-installing with Windows 10 Home without the N, as advised by Shri, enabled activation.

    Thanks all.

    I am afraid not unless you buy a Home N licence. There is no way to reinstall 10 Home without a clean install.

    Windows 10 - It has everything that Microsoft offers for a windows OS.
    Windows 10N - The N version of Windows comes without a media player baked into the system.
    Windows 10KN - This version removes Windows' media playing capabilities.
    Windows SLP - This will have only language pre-installed.
    If you need to install windows 10 with multiple language then you need to install the language pack.
    Refer to the below link to install the language pack.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/language-packs#lptabs=win10

    Just download the regular Home version and run a repair install MCT

    No, you can't activate Home N with a Home license. You would have to purchase a new licence for Home N.

    You can't upgrade an N version to a normal version either, that was asked (and answered) in an earlier thread (Pro N to Pro) here...

    Upgrade from Pro "N" version to full Pro
