Hi,

I just got a new job, and I decided to upgrade from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro. It already had a Windows 10 Pro license key preinstalled. I decided to use the Massgrave.dev tool and accidentally changed my HWID to a Windows 11 Home key. Now, I’ve decided to downgrade back to Windows 10, but even when I use the Multi ISO for Windows 10, I can’t select Windows 10 Pro; it just defaults to Windows 10 Home now. I really want to restore my keys. Does anyone know a method?

    I feel like IT could yell at OP for a little bit, but would ultimately have to stare the fact that they allowed non-privileged users to just change the operating system square in the face. Like holy hell, 500 employees and anybody can just be like, “Hey, maybe I’ll make a major OS change today because why not?” What else are they letting happen?!

      I work in it and one of our employees brought a laptop to us that had been completely and thoroughly dismantled with a screwdriver.

      She told us that she wanted to remove the hard drive but she couldn’t find it.

      It had a flash hard drive that had been detached from the board was sitting next to the Wi-Fi card.

      Me and the other it guy just kind of like looked at each other for a minute and then got her a new laptop.

      To be fair she was due for an upgrade anyway, but I’ve never had anyone dismantle their soon to be recycled devices.
