    Windows Edition and License problem


    Hi, I have issue with my windows 10 after recent update this November 2018. I installed Windows 10 Pro since last year with my genuine license and it was all going well. After a recent update my Windows 10 Pro was automatically changed to Windows 10 Enterprise edition and asking me to activate it. I never installed a Windows 10 Enterprise and whats the point using it at home. What happen to my genuine license and why did it change to enterprise edition?

    :)

  2. License activation issue: Your windows license will expire soon

    Windows 10 Activation reports your license will soon expire.

    This can happen for a number of reasons:

    • You copied a Windows 10 Pro off the Internet (usually a volume license - organization - key) and changed on a Windows 10 Home installation. Windows 10 Pro is not free. If this is what you did, you will need to reinstall the previous edition
      or version you were running. You inadvertently installed the wrong edition.
      • The copy of Windows 10 you download and upgrade from will correspond with the edition of Windows you have installed, if it does not, this is why you might be experiencing problems activating:

    • Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Windows 8.0 Core, Windows 8.1 Core will install Windows 10 Home

    • Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.0 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro will installWindows 10 Pro

    If the edition of Windows 10 installed does not correspond with the edition of Windows 7 or Windows 8 you were previously running, then you need to reinstall the right edition.

    Did you purchase the laptop brand new out of the box?

    You might want to reinstall Windows 10 Home to resolve the problem.

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...


    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

    Windows 10 pro edition - License expires soon warning

    Windows 10 Activation reports your license will soon expire.

      If this is what you did, you will need to reinstall the previous edition or version you were running. You inadvertently installed the wrong edition.
