Windows 10: Is there any way to downgrade from Windows 11 Pro to Windows 11 Home by any chance?

I recently bought a laptop that has Windows 64 Pro installed on it already, and I want to know, how I can downgrade it from Windows 11 Home. Can you offer me the best solution step-by-step, please?

Windows 11 Home to Pro upgrade

Want to upgrade 11 Home to 11 Pro. Tried download, but apparently files transferred were for 11 Enterprise. This will not activate; error is "invalid digital license or product key". This is on a new Surface. How to proceed?

Can withdraw/delete this. The suggestion to downgrade - listed below - with a 'fake' windows 10 key works.

 

Windows 11 Pro Bitlocker And Downgrade To Windows 10?

I am going to most likely purchase a dell xps 15 9520. The default option is windows 11 home. I see that if I want to upgrade to windows 11 pro, it is about 60 dollars more on dell site


My current old dell xps 15 9550, I use windows 10 pro. I like pro because I want to be able to use bitlocker to encrypt my laptop. Thus I read only windows pro allows you to do this. I need pro in order to use bitlocker right? I read online you still have encryption on windows 11 home but not called bitlocker? I read that with windows 11 home, there is still encryption? But isn't bitlocker encryption so it isn't that strong or something? So how would windows 11 home look when you turn on your computer? It ask you for a password or pin right?


My questions are



1. Upgrade To Windows 11 Pro for about 60 dollars more as oppose to buy home and upgrade yourself as I read online its $99 to go from windows 11 home to windows 11 pro? So always upgrade it if you can?



2. I have a cheap laptop I bought earlier this year where it uses windows 11 home. I rarely used it and it is a cheap celeron slow computer. I do not like how it looks as there isn't a task bar but not only that, if you have multiple chrome tabs, you don''t see it on the taskbar like you do in windows 10 pro. Is there a way to fix this or is this how windows 11 is and you can't fix that? That to me is a huge issue because I do not like how there is only one chrome icon in the bottom middle of the screen and you need to highlight it to see which chrome tab you want to click on.



3. If I buy windows 11 home or windows 11 pro, can i downgrade to windows 10 or windows 10 pro? I still prefer windows 10 pro. So if i get windows 11 pro, i can downgrade to windows 10 pro. If i get windows 11 home, i get only downgrade to windows 10 home?
