    So I upgraded my windows 10 home to pro via the microsoft store and it installed enterprise...now it says key not valid blah blah. Anything I can do?

    Also in MSI afterburner when I hit cntrl-f to view my voltage curve it doesn't even show anything on the graph...kinda odd.

    Wow, did they issue you a wrong key? Have you contacted Microsoft about this?

    No clue, I never got a key. I assume its a digital thing. They are closed atm so will check later. All I know is it installed enterprise and now it says windows isnt activated. From what I've read I need a fresh install of windows. Might just leave it as is for a while.

    What if you remove the existing key using cscript slmgr.vbs /upk command?

    Not sure how to do that, also how do I get the key I paid for?

    EDIT** Removed it, googled the command. Now idk where I get the key I paid for through the ms store since it was a digital hardware activation I think.

    EDIT** Well I bought a cheap Win 10 Pro key and it activated. It now shows Win 10 Pro.

    Will be calling ms store for a refund when they are open. Tried to do it the legit way but look how that turned out. $16 vs $130 CAD. :rolleyes:

    Thanks @Kevin@GenTechPC

    No link? Perhaps check inventory section on your MS account if available.

    Who charged you $136 CAD?
    Also some ISO's have Pro and Enterprise on the same files. If you install a pro key on an Enterprise installation, it changes the entire edition to pro.
    There were several reputable forum members who worked for companies that sell legitimate pro keys for $10'ish. Seems like you already found one though.
