Hello all. I had a very outdated trial Windows 10. I bought Windows 11 Home. I updated my computer and fresh restarted it as it was full of bloatware and just garbage. I went to activate my key with my fresh reinstall and it says I have Pro and refuses to let me use my home key I purchased and installed. How can I fix this?
