Posted September 26, 2017 I'm replacing my boot drive from my 1TB HDD to my new SSD and I was able to fresh install windows just fine, except the key for the version on the HDD (didn't format it) is windows 10 education and it doesn't want to activate the pro version on the SSD. is there an easy way to convert my current version to edu? should I reinstall it to Home in hopes it will work better? should I find the .iso file originally used (think its an 8.1 version, so not preferred)? should I buy a key from some shady market? or is there a better option? I have the key linked to my Microsoft account for the edu version I haven't done much on the new install yet so I'm willing to reinstall the proper version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 27, 2017 AFAIK Education keys are for home version. Keys are per version and do not work on other versions. Your options are either to install Home version and use Education key (you don't need Win8.1, you can just install 10). Or buy Pro key. Legit as I don't support grey market. ^^^^ That's my post ^^^^ <-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar --> vvvv Who's there? vvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
