Having problems with Windows 10 Home Activation

Ratchet

So I recently bootcamped Windows 10 Home on my Macbook and wanted to activate it but everytime I tried to active it it didn't work for the method shown here:

it gave me the following error

Activating your Windows...

The connection to my KMS server failed! Trying to connect to another one...
Please wait...

Sorry! Your version is not supported.

And for the method shown here: https://community.msguides.com/d/4-windows-activation-issues it gave me this error:
C:\Windows\system32>cscript //nologo slmgr.vbs /ckms&cscript //nologo slmgr.vbs /skms kms8.MSGuides.com&cscript //nologo slmgr.vbs /ato&cscript slmgr.vbs /dli
Key Management Service machine name cleared successfully.

Key Management Service machine name set to kms8.MSGuides.com successfully.

Error: product not found.

Error: product key not found.

So I don't really know what to do so if anyone could help me out that would be great

Also it used to work when I had the Pro edition of Windows but I switched to Home recently and when I checked the properties on ''This PC'' it showed me it didn't have a Product ID for some reason:

I think the latest version of Windows Home is not supported anymore. Its KMS client key is not listed on the official site: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/kmsclientkeys

Ratchet

GuangP Alright so should I switch to the Pro version again?

GuangP

Ratchet Yes. I think Pro version is still a good choice.

Ratchet

GuangP Alright thanks for the help!
