  1. Windows to Pro to Windows 10 Home after reimage from USB Windows Media Creation Tool


    I have a few machines which needed a complete reset/deletion of everything, and by the time the Workstation boots back up it boots back up on Windows Home (as opposed to Pro).

    What's the best way to go about retrieving the Pro key that was on the workstation prior to reimaging the machine? I don't have the product key for this particular machine but I know for a fact that it was on PRO prior to reimaging?

  2. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

    Just noticed something and have a question.

    I wanted to create an updated USB boot drive with 10586 but the media creation tool seems to let me download only Windows 10, not pro. Is it bundled together or am I missing something?

    Windows to Pro to Windows 10 Home after reimage from USB Windows Media Creation Tool

    New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

    If downloading a 3,5 GB file isn’t a problem then try Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, it’ll download Windows 10 image and setup installation files on USB stick.
