How to downgrade from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Home Single language?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Since you have used third party product key to upgrade from Windows 10 Home Single Language to Windows 10 Pro that is the reason Windows is not activated on the computer.



As it’s an OEM system, the license is supposed to be tied to the system board. Also as you have mentioned that there is a digital license linked to your account for Windows 10 Home Single language, you can perform custom installation of Windows 10
Home Single language and it should be re-activated automatically.



However, I would also suggest to try retrieving the product key from the system and use the same to re-activate Windows in case the activation with digital license fails. To retrieve the product key follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Type Command prompt in the search bar, that is on the taskbar.
   
2. Right click on Command prompt icon and select Run as administrator.
   
3. Type the command and press on Enter: wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey
   
4. You will find the product key.
   

Note: Custom installation will remove all the installed programs however, the user data will be retained in Windows.old folder.



Please refer the article
How to: Perform a Custom Installation of Windows. You can also refer the video on

performing custom installation of Windows 10 for brief description.



Hope it helps.

Activation of Windows 10 pro digital license in my new laptop. Kindly suggest.

Hi,

I had purchased Windows 10 Home single language and upgraded to 10 pro through Microsoft store. It was activated as digital license.

Now i have purchased a new laptop which again comes with windows 10 single language. I want to convert to windows 10 pro with my existing digital license active with my account.
