I was using Windows 7, which was fully activated and working well. I think I was using windows 7 home, but I'm not sure.
I downloaded Windows 10 Pro from Microsoft, and installed from a DVD. It installed well, and is running fine.
However, it won't activate. I get 'Error code: 0x8007007B'
I am afraid that I might have accidentally installed Windows 10 pro over Windows 7 home. Is this even possible? Why would it let me do that?
I then tried to go back to Windows 7, but it won't let me, saying "We're sorry, you can't go back. Some of the files you need for a previous version of windows have been removed."
I have tried to run a Windows 10 home install over the top of Windows 10 Pro, but it won't let me keep my apps if I do that. I also had to enter a different key number to even get install to work.
Help! Should I just wait to see if activation will eventually work?
THanks for any input,
Mike

Sorry to hear of your circumstances, I however do understand what you are experiencing. I did the same thin. So I have gone to ebay and purchased the recovery disks relevant to my laptop, it is a dell. Right now I am running windows ten unactivated.
My plan is to reinstall from the factory install media, make windows 7 recovery disks (just so I have them) and then install windows 10 and make again, recovery disks (redundancy at every stage) I dabble in Linux, so it is my own fault the circumstances I find myself. I hope maybe this has helped you find a way to fix your problem too. Ill let you know if helps, as my cd's are not here yet.
