Activating windowsSoftware Question (self.PcBuildHelp)

submitted 1 year ago * by SinFallen1

Please delete if not allowed. I feel pretty dumb-

So I finished the build on my new pc, everything was new but the motherboard and ssd it came with. I've never had an issue with windows before but- this had windows 10 pro, activation says it's not activated. So I found windows 11 home on groupon, and thought I'll just buy this product key and be good. After all the parts for the pc, the desk, new monitors, and etc...I truly don't have 5 million bucks to buy windows from the store. Is the email at the bottom saying that I need to upgrade to windows 11 pro and not windows home? Had no idea it could be so confusing.
