Hail *NOR/!

So for the last few days I have been on my old gaming laptop (which has aged beyond use) because my new rig's HDD failed. So I bought an SSD and a new HDD and used the recovery disc that came with the computer.......Opps! Nope, They put the wrong recovery disc in the box! I, yesterday, reinstalled, and its Windows 10 PRO! Not HOME Edition. So the product key won't work. I contacted CyberPowerPC via support and have asked them to give me a Valid Pro product key, so we'll see what happens but I suspect they;ll send me a Home Edition disc and I'll have to yet reinstall.
So I am on my old gaming laptop which was good 2 years ago but is worthless now:) Wiped off a year or two of dust, she does alright but UGH!
I'll get it corrected as I have demanded a PRO key from CyberPowerPC. You put the wrong disc in the box? You fix it!

lol! I did start a gemcutter in the SH. Im off to pillow land.

See ya NOR!

If Cyberpower is slow about fixing this you should be able to download an ISO from microsoft. They usually have them all available for download. Your product key should be able to activate it if I am remembering how OEM licensing works correctly. Been awhile since I had to do that. The last time I had to do this was winXP and vista hadn't been released yet. My install disk was unreadable so I needed to make a new one. Wasn't an OEM license though so wasn't the same scenario.

Thanks Rain for starting the gem cutter!

lol, I learned that win10 Home and Pro are on the same disc. I was able to activate Pro using WindowsToolKit, so I'm good:) I may have failed to see the choice button for Home or Pro. IDK, but what I do know is that the product key on my motherboard is not the same as the one on the side of the tower. Both of them are for Home though, so neither would have helped. But I'm back up and running and thats all that matters:)

Yep Ziek, I downloaded Win10 and made a boot USB, but thankfully didnt have to use it. And no thanks need Phel, we need them, so it was a no brainer!

Where I ran into issues was with Discord. When I reinstalled, it wanted 2FA verification, which I never enabled. I made a post about it in the Discord section. I'm now Rain#7804 instead of #8009 as I made a new account.
I asked that that Rain be kicked and that my new self be given the permissions, voice activity and such and I've made sure that 2FA is turned off!
Phel I'll also need to be re invited to the Alliance discord as well. I can Join them but I'm not sure if anything else needs done on your end.

Thanks guys:)
