  1. Windows 10 Pro - Windows 10 Home Activation Problems


    I had to replace my hard drive and so I lost everything. The installer added Windows 10 Pro a few months ago, but I'm getting activation errors and prompts with it installed.


    In an effort to fix the problem, I just repurchased Windows 10 Home from the Microsoft Store with a key. I download it, but when I go to the activation screen, it still shows Windows 10 Pro.


    I also tried to change the product key to the once provided by the store, but that didn't work either.


    Is there a way to change the Windows Edition in my Activation Window to Windows Home?


    What the heck?

    :)

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    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.

    Windows 10 Pro - Windows 10 Home Activation Problems

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    Hi!

    I signed up in the windows insider program and got windows 10 free - the windows 10 insider preview updated to windows 10 pro.
    Today i got another SSD and did a raid 0 on my system forcing me to do a clean install of windows but now it wont activate anymore.
    Signing in with my microsoft account that was linked to the insider program didnt help.
    Maybe i got this problem since i quit the insider program for several days and signed up again after i found out that my win 10 wont activate anymore.
    Any ideas how to fix it?
