Windows 10: After having upgraded from windows 10 home to education, will my original digital licence...

Hi guys,I'm thinking of cleaning reinstalling windows 10 home using a USB with the media creation tool. After having upgraded to windows 10 education, I'm not happy with it and regret my decision. Is it too late for me, is my original licence lost forever? I have run a command via cmd to ask for my original product key, it pulled it through and after checking it a 3rd party program confirmed that the licence is valid and is OEM. Does this mean I could still be in with a chance at reactivating home?Thanks guys.

:)

Hi,

hoping someone can help me. I have significantly upgraded my PC (almost everything apart from BD and case!) and have had to re-install Windows. The digital licence I had associated with the original PC will not install on my new PC and tells me it is
invalid. From memory the old licence was associated to an old Windows 8.1 licence I bought many years ago.

Is there anyway to utilise the digital licence. The only licence on my account I can use is a licence associated to a laptop that I actively use. Although the old PC is listed as have a digital licence.

Any thoughts or help much appreciated

Thanks

Hi There,

You might want to have a look at this post from microsoft:

Please let me know if this has helped you. There is a article about Windows 7 as well as win 8.1 as well as windows 10, though you never mentioned whether your goal is to stick on windows 8.1 or upgrade to 10.
