  1. Downgrade Enterprise to Home after random upgrade...


    Greetings,


    my system is an old upgraded Windows 7 System Home Premium and since an eternity I have Windows 10 Home. Some days ago I tried to upgrade to an education version or whatever the version is called with a key from Microsoft Azure. The system told me that the keys are invalid for some reason. Afterwards or maybe even a day later I saw that Windows wants to update to version 20XX and I installed those updates.


    Today I was notified that I have an unlicensed windows 10 enterprise running. Since I have no key for an enterprise version I tried to overwrite the key with my old Windows 7 key but windows complained to not be activated and that my key is invalid.


    Could you tell me precisely how I can reverse this automatic change made by my system?


    Thank you very much in advance.


    Kind Regards,

    me

    :)

    Usable Product Keys for Enterprise downgrade to Pro


    Hi, very interested in this opportunity simply to downgrade without having to reinstall.

    Background - I got to Win 10 Enterprise when Win 10 was first released; at that time I think I was offered only Home or Enterprise, so selected Enterprise as my upgrade route from Win 7 Ultimate.

    From there the Windows authentication process led to the digital signature being installed in my machine.

    So I don't have a Win 10 Pro key to use in order to downgrade my setup. I only have my older Win 7 Pro and Win 7 Ultimate licenses available to me.

    Can I use one or other of these as the key for a downgrade?

    [Background - the reason I want to downgrade is due to problems upgrading to Creators Edition with Enterprise. Microsoft have suggested I reinstall, which I think will mean I need to go back to Win 7 Pro and build forward from there. If it's possible instead to just do a downgrade from Enterprise I'd rather go that way. I think I'm fine from an edition point of view; currently on 1607 and trying to go to 1703.]

    Luckily, you can quickly downgrade from Windows 10 Enterprise to Windows 10 Pro by just changing the product key to the one for Pro.

    Downgrade from Windows 10 Enterprise to Pro

    Hello,

    I need to downgrade from Windows 10 Enterprise to Windows 10 Pro.

    1. I had windows 8.1 home and upgraded to windows 10 home, using the media creation tool 1809.
    2. After windows 10 home installation , I went to Settings > Updates and Security > Activation > Go to Microsoft Store. Bought Windows 10 Pro, but instead of Install I did upgrade to workstation.
    So now I have Windows 10 Enterprise and I can't activate it, which is normal, cause I bought windows 10 Pro and not Enterprise.

    How can I downgrade it to Windows 10 Pro?

    Thank you in advance.
