I updated my computer today to 24H2 and after it rebooted it requested me to activate my copy of Windows Home. I attempted to using the key that I have but it says that it can't.

I have inserted a screenshot below. If you need any further information please let me know.

cheers

    We have the same issue. After update to 24H2 devices that were activated using KMS are changing editions from Pro to Enterprise and therefor can not activate anymore. We can reactivate the devices using a MAK key but we still can not figure out how to stop each device to change edition to Enterprise after the update to 24H2.

    I read here Window 11 24H2 / Can't Join Domain - Microsoft Community that people have issues with joining devices to Domain, so I was thinking maybe it can not connect to AD after update and therefor somehow messes up the Edition/License, but if we create a brand new ISO image with 24H2, the computer joins the AD and activates, so I am not sure if these issues are related.

    If anyone has some solution, please let me know.

    I had the same trouble. An hour on the phone with an Indian Ms support worker which I could not understand because her accent.

    In order to stop mucking about, I bought a Windows Home key on line for NZ $10 (about $5.00 US). I received it within a minute after paying using Google pay (secure). I'm all running again.
