    How to change windows version to Home edition without reinstall?


    Hi everyone. I bought Windows 10 Home edition, but my Windows is professional edition.

    So I wonder how to change windows version to Home edition without reinstall?

    I've tried to install with media creation tool, when I try to install from my hard drive, the option of Home edition did not show up. When trying to install windows Home from my flash drive I made by creation tool, the option did show up, but then it tells me that

    when trying to install windows on a computer with windows already installed, you have to boot your windows and then install rather than install it from flash drive or ISO…

    So what should I do?

    :)

  2. Change motherboards without reinstalling Windows 7!

    Don't even need to go through all those steps. Once you got into safe mode,windows 7 will rebuild it's drivers automatically. Boot normally and then install chipset drivers if not already in.

    Edit:
    One thing though, it gets hectic with RAID and you will NEED to reinstall/rebuild the array. Only circumstance where you will find driver conflicts.

    Edit2:

    See edit 1 peet.

    Change motherboards without reinstalling Windows 7!

    He is right here, Windows 7 does a fantastic job of dealing with that and it's about time!

    Also a good point, have a backup or be comfortable doing it.
    I am yet to have an issue doing it, even with a raid *as long as it was Intel to Intel* with windows 7.

    Reinstall Windows?

    You don't need to reinstall windows. Go to the device manager and remove uninstall the processor and motherboard drivers listed. When you start the system back up you should be able to re-install the new ones. I just changed my mobo/processor Friday, everything is fine.

    BTW I have seen some reviews that state practically no difference in using more than 2gb of ram.
