Hello,

I just installed a new SSD after my old one died and reinstalled Windows 10. The key on my PC always was accepted as Win 10 Pro (used to be Win 7 Pro before) so no idea what the hell just happened. It should activate Pro but whenever I go to the activation window under troubleshooting it says the key on my system is a Win10 Home key. After some googling this exact problem already happened a year before but it doesnt seem to be a thing now, so does anyone know what the reason might be? It sure as hell cant be because I switched my SSD as the key should be on my MB. I used to reinstall my OS often, so Im absolutely certain it is a Win10 Pro key.
