Windows 10 Pro not activating on SSD but okay on HDD
With one of my current PC configurations, I have activated and have been using / activating Win 10 Home without problems. I think this was from a retail key.
Recently, I have discovered / reminded myself that I also have a Win 10 Pro license on this setup, but after cloning my w10 Home from SSD to an image and installing Pro to that SSD, Windows won't activate.
However, installing to a HDD (nothing else has changed) activates windows without issues. I think that Pro license may have been an upgrade from an OEM key (would that be the problem?).
I thought Pro would activate on that same hardware, regardless of SSD or HDD?
Would appreciate your thoughts.
