    Windows 10 Pro installed but need 10 Home key


    I have a few different issues. I have Windows 10 professional installed but my key is for Windows 10 Home. The other issue is I changed out my HDD and Motherboard. The HDD and MB both came from a spare PC I already owned. Both PC's had the free upgrade from Windows 7. Both were running authentic windows versions but now I can't activate at all. I've entered the key from the PC I got the parts from also but it did not accept it.

    The newer HDD came from a PC that was activated already.

    :)

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    As far as I am aware there is no Windows 10 Pro version.
    But I'd be happy to be wrong.

    windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
