I know it's a strange question but let me explain.
I upgraded my motherboard on my desktop PC that I build. It was the MSI M7. From what I read, installing Windows 7 was a pain and so I decided to just install Windows 10. I read that putting your Windows 7 key allowed Windows 10 to register the key correctly. So I decided to avoid the headache and go ahead and install Windows 10 instead.
So, I went on my laptop and downloaded Windows 10 from a website from Microsoft since my desktop PC does not have a CD drive installed. After installing it, I noticed that in Action Center, it says to switch to tablet mode. Going into my Power and Sleep settings allows me to choose and customize a power plan on when my PC is plugged to power or when it's not. I had not seen this before but only on laptops.
My question is, did I accidentally download the laptop version of Windows 10 on my laptop and install it on my desktop PC.. Or is that how all versions of Windows 10 is? Just wondering because I find it a bit strange.

"I read that putting your Windows 7 key allowed Windows 10 to register the key correctly." That ended last month. If you want windows 10 on the desktop you'll have to buy windows 10 either the full version or the upgrade version. There is no special version for laptops, but the OS will recognize what machine its installed on and activate features based on what hardware it finds.

I forgot to mention I installed everything around April but this thought has been lingering for a while. So I was able to get the upgrade for free.

Well you did answer question. Thank you very much!
