Windows 10 installs incorrect version [duplicate]

  • Prevent Windows 10 installer from using the preinstalled serial key without disabling UEFI

    3 answers




I have reinstalled Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit with a Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit CD. After the installation, I realized, that there has been Windows 10 Home edition installed.



Since the installation never asked for a product key, I tried to enter it after the setup, updates and so on...



An error message says, that the key is invalid.



How did I installed a Home version with Pro CD?
If I have the CD, can I upgrade my version to Pro?. (Reinstalling did not work either.)

  • Solution to this problem is to simply perform the upgrade to Professional again using the key you originally used. The answer to the linked duplicate provides a method to install Windows 10 Professional, even if your OEM machine came with, Windows 10 Home.

I have seen some installation media that contains multiple versions. Specifically, I have a Windows 10 ISO that has Pro and Home editions and you have to chose during installation what version you use.
Screenshot of OS version choice. May also be a dropdown.
