Windows 10: Downgrading Windows 10 Pro Edition To Home Edition...

I recently just finished building my dream pc & managed to get Windows 10 on it without any actual "issues". The only thing I didn't realize until later on was that I originally intended to get Windows 10Home edition & instead I have the Windows 10 Pro edition which I don't actually need.


So, I was wondering if I would be able to downgrade from the Pro edition to Home edition without actually having to purchase another license just for Home? If it's possible, is all that's needed is to backup my data, downgrade & Windows will keep the license key...? I would very much appreciate it if someone with experience can tell me if this can be done without any hiccups or setbacks along the way & I would like to know what's involved!


If anyone needs any other details or wishes to ask me anything, feel free to do so & I'll get back to you in a flash!

Thanks to anyone who can help! :

How to Downgrade Windows 10 Pro To Home Edition


Ah, I see where your problem comes from. One step before that, choose 'Create installation media for another PC'. It will offer by default to create media in the version appropriate to your PC. Run the install from that media and you will be offered the choice of Home or Pro.
