    You could try a N version if the other doesn't work, which by the way I don't understand why it would work but you can't argue with success.

    The only difference in the N is that Windows Media Player was dropped for the EU because of a law suit. Everything else is the same. Have looked everywhere and can't find a Windows Pro N download. Like I said both PC's were running 8.1 Pro N initially. I only had problem when I tried to do clean install on other PC because it had no apps on it. I have bootable usb drive with Win 10 Pro on it but think I will wait and let it download upgrade. Maybe some day we can do a clean install or MS is gonna get a lot richer. I usually do clean install on all my computers every six months.

    The N version is available through the MediaCreationTool:
