Windows 10: Is it possible to change from Windows 11 Education to Windows 11 Home

hi there,A few years ago we bought a new PC with Windows 11 Home 64bit. Now my son noticed that it has been changed to Windows 11 Education, although he doesn't know how that happened. The Activation State shows an error that Windows can't be activated as it can't connect to the organization's activation server Error code: 0x8007007BWe would like to change it back to Home so we contacted the vendor who told us that the only way is to do a complete re-installation, which we believe is very troublesome. And we wonder if there is a possibility to change the product key? We do see that option av

Change from Windows 11 Educational

I got a new desktop and was setting it up. My university offers free Windows 11, but I did not realize it was the educational version. I signed up with that key and now I cannot login to my personal Microsoft account and have many apps and programs not allowed because it is the educational Version. I want to change my version to either the pro or home version so it can be a personal computer and have my personal files on there. What steps should I take to restart and change the windows key and make it a personal computer? Thank you!

 

How can I move from Windows 11 Education to Pro?

I used Windows 11 Education for work but now I gave the computer to my son and I want to move to Pro.

I bought a product key and tried the steps listed here but it didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Windows 11 Pro VS. Windows 11 Pro Education

While there isn't much info about Win 11 Pro Education on MS sites I believe basic rules apply for Win 10 and Win 11 Pro Education. Here is more detailed info about Win 10 Pro Education.
