/edit - This is why Windows sucks. No shutdown via RDP, incorrect versions, etc etc. whinge whinge.

Looking good - I'm not quite into the OS yet but one of the questions it asked was whether it's going to be set up by me or a business. I'm pretty confident that means it's Pro.
 
And yes, it's working. Thanks for your help, @Vince. I've got Windows 10 Pro activated. I should really go to bed now but I'll probably just crack on and get this configured :)
 
I finally went to bed at just before 05:00 this morning with everything running as I wanted. I haven’t yet revisited that regional setting but will take a quick look later today.

Thanks again for the help everyone.

Windows still sucks though :D
 
You can change that in regional settings in the control panel.
Yes, I've done that. It's a lot quicker now than it used to be, with having to download the language packs and manually install them. I see the old chestnut of having to a) log off and then b) reboot to get everything in place is still there though.
If you want a Professional only en-gb version of Windows 10 1909, build 18363.592, I will happily upload it if you can recommend somewhere. It's official and what I would use, I've just extracted the Professional edition from 18363.592.200109-2016.19h2_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTBUSINESS_VOL_x64FRE_en-gb.esd.
I appreciate the offer but no thanks. I've had enough of this now and I won't be rebuilding it again.
 
You could have created a batch file on the desktop you know. ;)
I know but as soon as I realised I was running a very old version of Windows 10, I had to fix it. The PC is connected to the internet, I wouldn't want to leave it vulnerable.

If only you had a mac feek you could have restored it via COMMAND + R in 30-50 mins flat. :p
If I hadn't been able to sort it today, I would probably have chucked the stupid PC in a skip and driven down to Lakeside to buy a Mac mini. That's how fed up I was with it.
