Windows 10 Product ID Changed, So Invalid Product Key .?

[glassyrajat]

Hello..

I did a windows 10 reinstall on my Thinkpad Laptop after upgrading it to Windows 10 Home 20H2 (Build 19042.685). I did it previously, and my windows got activated automatically, but this time its not..

I logged in with same Microsoft Account as previously, but its not activated this time..

I got the Genuine Windows with the laptop only when i bought it...

Before reinstalling i took backup of my laptop credentials with a tool..

now i noticed that my Product ID is different then of the details i have in backup text file..

I am afraid to ask, Is it possible that Product ID is changed. ?? (becoz as far i knw, its the hardware ID).

Please guide on how to reactivate my windows..

Hi Rajat,

did your laptop come with Windows Home or another version like Windows Pro?. You may have selected the wrong version when you did the new install?.
