So I upgraded to Ryzen after having issues with my previous system and everything is great on the ryzen system, no issues there. My old system was giving me random restarts like crazy and I ended up doing a fresh install of windows 10 from another pc, moved it into the one with the issues, restarts kept happening.
The problem is that the copy of windows was Windows 10 N. A friend sent me the iso on dropbox, the only iso I have is for 10 N. I can't make a new iso because windows will not let you simply download it, you have to use the stupid tool, but here is another problem. In an effort to stop windows from auto updating, I put windows on a 25GB partition and it worked great, no forced updates.
It also stops me from being able to download this tool to make an iso onto my flash drive because it keeps telling me I need 8gb free which is 100% impossible. I want to do a complete fresh install of 10 since I have a new system and I don't want any issues. I can only reinstall 10 N which I don't want because I don't even own 10N, I have the activate watermark here. I have a valid key for windows 10 though.
I tried to emulate the browser to think it's a mobile device and I can get the .iso download, but it always fails at the very end for some reason. What would someone do if they bought windows 10 key online and had a brand new drive? I'm really tempted to just buy an N key if I can find one and be done with this. Any type of repair stuff I might do is going to stay on 10N, I could just do this and keep the watermark, it really doesn't bother me, but if I can use my valid key and get a non N version, I would much prefer that.
