    Downgrade from 11 to 10 installed Home, not Pro and without asking


    My Surface Go had Windows 10 Pro installed. I accidentally allowed Microsoft to install Windows 11 and left it too long to revert to W10. I dislike W11 enough to have gone the long way around and done a clean install of W10. Bit of a journey but successful, only to discover that what has been installed is the Home edition,. not the Pro edition that I hade there previously. I don't have a product key. How do I move back to Pro from Home?

    :)
