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?

    Lmao

    Try clean reinstall (wipe disk etc) if you can pick up the hardware key

    Or a warranty case lol

    Also gz for a new lesson learned;)

      Should I be honest with my boss and tell him what I did or am I going to get fired? I don’t have enough money to buy the key until Friday.

        You don’t need to buy a key from your own pocket.

        Just be honest like I said in another reply. Ask for help. I’m sure he’ll help you out and you’ll be fine.

          Go with humility first, you screwed up. Follow it up with a joke about how you discovered a flaw in the configuration of work laptops, and now they can fix it to prevent someone else from being able to do that 🤷‍♂️ I think you’ll be ok
