Windows 10: How can you revert the edition of Windows 8.1?

Hi,The machine that I use shipped with Windows 8.1 Home Single Language. I wanted to switch to a different Windows edition/SKU, so I used a spare Windows key, to use the "Add features to Windows 8.1". After I did so, I realized that I wanted to switch back to the old edition. I checked System Restore, but it seemed to have removed all of my restore points. I put my original key back in the "Add features", but it said that it did not detect the key. PC Settings seems to recognize the original key but says that it is for a different edition.How should I change back to the original edition?Thanks

:)

 

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

I agree 8 is awful! It's not for me though... I replaced a broken screen in a Win 8 laptop that was given to me and I am going to give it for free to someone that can't afford one so they can do homework at home. Yes I took it from 8 to 8.1 back on 10/09/2014. This is what I posted there...

"Great post! I found a similar one. I would like to point out that you may want to edit your OP...

1. Step 1 should read to disable AUTOMATIC updates, not disable manual updates.

2. KB2871398 should really read KB2871389

I would like to say that KB2917499 may also be needed as it was in my case. I also had to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter after installing those 2 updates. After these steps I was able to begin my 8.1 download from the Microsoft store. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I also went into the Bios and disabled "Secure Boot."

It was a helpful post. Thanks!
