How do I change from windows 10 pro to windows 10 home?
I think i installed the wrong one and now it tells me to activate windows in the bottom right corner of my screen.

@Ansylm, welcome to TenForums!
Have you had an activated Windows 10 on this PC before? Have you just done a clean install of Pro? If the answer to both is 'yes' then you may well be right, your digital licence for this PC is for Home only.
Go to Settings > Update & security > Activation and try changing the product key to the generic Windows 10 Home key: TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99 - if you do have a digital licence for Home then it should now find that and activate.
I put in a Windows 10 Home key when i first started my computer up but then i installed Windows 10 Pro.
You have to do the registry edits that are shown in the video @TairikuOkami linked to, then do an in-place reinstall like the video shows.

As the post in quote is about switching from Windows 8.1 Enterprise to Windows 8.1 PRO to allow Windows 10 upgrade, I edited the quote to match OP's case (switching from 10 PRO to 10 HOME).
Please notice, in step 8 you can also use the generic Windows 10 HOME key shown in Bree's post earlier in this thread.

How do i change it to Home to I click 'Modify' or 'Modify Binary Data'?
Edit: Nevermind I reread it. :P
