Will do. Can I use my computer (just google chrome) while macrorit is running on my external drive?

I decided to just do the clean install, and as required I downloaded the windows 10 installation for a USB drive. I followed the instructions here:

Create Bootable USB Flash Drive to Install...

Okay, I went back into settings to look at the Activation tab, and this is what I'm seeing now. I haven't done a wipe/reinstall yet, but it's now saying that I have 10 Pro even though it told me the...

I just tried downgrading with the generic key, as shown in the tutorial, but got an error that says Windows can't be activated because I don't have a valid license or key. I guess I'll have to try...
