So I recently had my PC worked on and when i got it back, I found that the PC guy had accidentally installed Windows 10 Pro instead of regular windows. I tried to figure out a way to delete but couldnt. So i just installed regular windows on a different drive. Everything has worked fine for a while but it recently has been acting very strange and im wanting to delete the Windows 10 Pro, but am still having trouble figuring out how. Plz help

 

NOTE: I already tried the Win+R MISCONFIG then deleting. The attached photo pops up and that option doesnt work

Let me get this straight.. you installed a second copy of Windows on your secondary drive, and now you are trying to "delete" windows from said new windows install...? And you are trying to do this via MSCONFIG.

 

Give your computer back to your computer guy because I don't think you know what you are doing.

ask me about my homelab

on a personal quest convincing the general public to return to the glory that is 12" laptops.

cheap and easy cable management is my fetish.

That would probably be best. Thanks
