  1. Windows upgraded to Enterprise


    I recently bought a new pc and installed windows 10 home via usb stick.

    I tried to use my old win7 key to activate it, it did not work.

    No problem so i just bought a new win 10 home key.

    I activated it, it was recognised, everything works, all fine.

    Now some restarts later windows tells me that i need to activate it again.

    And displays that this is currently a Windows 10 Enterprise.

    Obviously my key does not work here anymore..... and it refuses it.

    I am super angry now, since i read that there is no downgrade and i need to reinstall and lose days of configuration/installation on the new system..

    Any ideas how this happend or what i can do?

    i get 0xc004f050 on trying to activate.

    Upgrading Windows 10 Home to Enterprise

    There is a lot of conflicting information on how you can and can't upgrade to Enterprise from a current Home edition.

    I purchased a system about 2 years ago for business that came with Windows 10 Home by default. Pretty weird combo considering the specs of this system but is what it is.

    I had attempted a previous suggestion to upgrade using a standard PRO key first which I did, but it wouldn't activiate and complained not valid. Took a bit to get back to it and Windows complaining about needing activation . So I tried entering our company
    Enterprise key again and voila, it now says Windows 10 Enterprise? Is it possible even though it wouldn't activate, the edition was recognized as PRO so the Enterpise key was then accepted?

    My primary question: Will just rebooting give me the full Enterprise functionality or do I need to run any upgrade steps or install steps? I am attempting to avoid a full system reinstall and full applications reinstalls and configuration if I can.
