For a single H24 receiver installation, can I use a deactivated H21 to power the LNB or do I need to get the power inserter? If I can use the H21, how do i set it up?
Use deactivated receiver for LNB power?

You don't need a power inserter for a single H24 installation. One line from the lnb to the H24 is all you need.
I guess I don't have a SWM LNB because the only receiver I had before was the H21 and there is no power inserter.
If you can get to the lnb, remove it from the arm. If the lnb has four outputs, it is a non swm lnb and the receiver will power the lnb. If it has one output, it is a swm lnb and will need a power inserter.

If you ask if a receiver will work as a power inserter, it is implied that you need one.It was, how so?
It doesn't seem reasonable to assume that if the H21 worked, that the H24 wouldn't work in its place.
self-installing is overrated.
Since the op has already replied that he doesn't have a power inserter, it would seem that your assumption was incorrect.
It was, how so?
Looked to me like the SWM was not mentioned in the OP's question, however, a Power Inserter was .... that would lead me to think he thinks he has a SWM.
Weather he does or not, that is the OP' s situation to determine, we need a correct answer from him before we can diagnose it any further.
So, all he has to do is install it the typical way, without any of the newer high tech stuff.
Run a line to the recvr and the other end to the LNB and turn it on!
