Windows 10: Force Home edition activation

I have a laptop with a windows 11 Pro OEM key. I have nothing on the machine that I need to keep. I wanted to do a clean install of windows 11 Home to test something for some documentation I am putting together about dealing with Bitlocker, now that Bitlocker is included on "Home" PCs. I only intend to keep home on the machine for a couple of hours at the most. I will then reinstall Pro. I downloaded a fresh USB stick from MS and added the file ei.cfg in the sources folder. The file has the following:[EditionID] Home [Channel] OEMAfter the installation, the machine still has win 11 pro.I

Windows 10 will not activate Error code 0x803F7001

Possibly there can be the problem with Microsoft activation Server, so your Windows 10 is not activated. In this scenario, you need to wait and verify if it is the issue from Microsoft’s side. But if you are getting error code 0x803f7001, you can also try these steps:

1. Open Settings app. Then go to Update and security > Activation screen > Change product.
2. Type your Windows edition product key and click Next.
3. You’ll get We couldn’t activate Windows error message.
4. Retry steps 1-3 then type your 25-characters unique product key.
5. Wait for the process to complete, Windows 10 is activated.

Hope something helps this problem

Hello Aleksey,

The Windows activation error 0x8007232B occurs due to the following reasons:

• You might see this error if you entered a product key for the Enterprise edition of Windows to activate
  Windows 10 Home or
  Windows 10 Pro. Try entering a product key that matches the edition of Windows on your device.
• Or, you might see this error if you're trying to activate your work PC but aren't connected to your workplace's network. If you're connected to your work network and still see this error, you might need to change the network settings. Contact
