Windows 10: Windows 10 home turned into pro after update, and inactive

Hi,


I think this happened after the 20H2 update, as I didn't see the update in the windows update so I downloaded the update file manually to proceed. I've been using Windows fine until today, when it said my activation is soon to expire.


I went into Windows activation and it said my version was pro, rather than home which I installed and activated.


I'd really rather not go through with the hassle of reinstalling Windows again since I installed a fresh version very recently.


Please help, thanks.

:)

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Again, for those that want the update reservation and you meet the requirements ---> Upgrade to Windows 10 for Free

And, some info from the FAQ page:

Also, some interesting info from the Specifications page:

 

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.
