  2. Downgrade Windows 10 enterprise to Pro

    Hi Sumit,

    Thanks for your quick response and help, But I was told that if I inserted the Windows 10 Pro product key into the activation section it will be downgraded automatically like the following steps:

    1. Open the Settings app and click Update & Security.
    2. Open Activation and click Change product key.
    3. Enter your Windows 10 Professional product key and click Next.
    4. Restart the computer after the new product key is activated.
    Can this be helpful ?

  3. windows 10 ESD downgrade to windows 7 pro

    Your question is very confusing.

    So you have a software download of Windows 10 Pro with no product key.

    Is that correct?

    Then you say:

    1. I dont wanna use windows 10, i need use windwos 7 pro

    2. need a purchase license only windows 10 pro

    3. how i can activate this license key(windows 10 pro ESD) on my PC with windows 7 pro?

    4. I dont wanna use windows 10, i need use windwos 7 pro

    If you already have Windows 7 why download Windows 10 Pro if you don't want to use Windows 10 Pro??

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If by some chance you mean that you bought Windows 10 Pro and you want to downgrade it for free to Windows 7 Pro, you can't.

    Windows 10 Pro had to be a preinstalled OEM license.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Here is the information about Downgrade rights. It is an old Microsoft link which they removed but the information still apples>

    Device Partner Center

    Downgrade rights for Windows software
    The following OEM versions of Windows software are eligible for downgrade rights.

    [table][tr][td]Windows 10 Pro includes downgrade rights to:
    • Windows 8.1 Pro
    • Windows 7 Professional
    [/td][td]Windows 8.1 Pro includes downgrade rights to:
    • Windows 7 Professional

    Note Other OEM Windows 7 versions (for example, Windows 7 Home Basic and Windows 7 Home Premium) do not include downgrade rights.[/td][/tr][/table]

    Note downgrade rights are only available as long as Microsoft provides support for that earlier version,
    as outlined in the
    Windows lifecycle fact sheet
    .

    Steps for an end user to downgrade Windows software


    To downgrade eligible Windows software, end users must:

    • Perform the downgrade process to the eligible downgrade product using the media/key from a genuine, previously licensed OEM or retail product.

    windows10 pro downgraded to home

    Usable Product Keys for Enterprise downgrade to Pro


    Hello wetenhr, and welcome to Ten Forums. windows10 pro downgraded to home :)

    You could downgrade to Windows 10 Pro using the generic key under step 1. You'll still be using the same version that you currently have installed, but you will be able to update to the latest version and build via Windows Update.

    When it's finished downgrading, you could try to activate Windows 10 Pro with your Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate key. If unsuccessful, you may need to purchase a Windows 10 Pro key from the Store to use to activate with.
