    Hello,
    I was installing Parallels for the first time on my Mac, and selected the option of 'Windows 10 Pro' (versus 'Home').
    Then, when asked to enter a serial software key for Windows, I went and purchased a Windows 10 Pro key.
    When entering that key, I have learned that it will not work, because the variant which was installed was Windows 10 Enterprise.
    this is taken from systeminfo:
    OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise
    OS Version: 10.0.19043 N/A Build 19043
    OS Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation
    OS Configuration: Standalone Workstation
    OS Build Type: Multiprocessor Free
    So my question is: can I switch to a Windows 10 Pro so that my key will work?
    If I re-install, how can I get Win10 Pro and not Enterprise?
    Thank you!
