    Why Does Windows 10 Pickup Home Edition on Clean Install On my System?


    Some Reason even with a PID text file in sources, 1909 on my clean install, picked up my bios original key and installed as Windows 10 Home, ended up just changing Product Key

    As i had so much trouble with my Previous AMD FX system with it always installing Home, when i specifically bought Pro Off The Microsoft Store, which I believe is treated as a retail version and was legal to transfer from my older AMD FX system to my Newer Intel I7 system in September 2017, plus did call Microsoft to get the new key back then, yet still picks up Home key in UEFI bios and 9 times out of 10 installs Home first

    Suppose to give digital license according to Microsoft site with the way i purchased Pro, Does say activated with Digital license now though

    I'll upgrade my Flash drive if I can figure out why it happens, and hopefully way in future when I do another clean install if needed, I actually get Pro right away lol

    As a work around could you create a 1909 Install USB from UUP dump and only select to download Pro?

    peace
