Windows 10: Change from Windows 11 Educational

I got a new desktop and was setting it up. My university offers free Windows 11, but I did not realize it was the educational version. I signed up with that key and now I cannot login to my personal Microsoft account and have many apps and programs not allowed because it is the educational Version. I want to change my version to either the pro or home version so it can be a personal computer and have my personal files on there. What steps should I take to restart and change the windows key and make it a personal computer? Thank you!

How can I move from Windows 11 Education to Pro?

Changing from Windows 11 Education Version

I am getting ready to graduate from my university and I will lose access to Windows 11 Education once I am no longer a registered student. What is the best way to change Windows 11 versions without losing data or access to my current system?
