  1. Revert Win 10 Pro to Home using Recovery Drive ?


    Recently i purchased a laptop with pre-installed Win 10 Home SL. Later i upgraded it to Pro. Before upgrading it to Pro, i created a Recovery Drive Pendrive. Can i use the Recovery Drive to revert back to Home ?

    Since i created a Recovery Drive during Home SL, i can revert from Pro to Home SL using recovery drive. These are my thoughts

  2. Reverting back to win 10 Pro

    This is what you said in your original post:

    I was on OS win 7 ultimate and installed win 10 when it was launched and then HDD of 500 GB was changed to 1 TB and win 10 enterprise OS was installed in the changed drive. Now can I revert back to OS win
    10 pro


    Now, you say you have Windows 7 Home Basic.

    How were you expecting to activate Windows 10 Pro with a Windows 7 Home Basic key?

    Please note: The copy of Windows 10 you download and upgrade from will correspond with the edition of Windows you have installed, if it does not, this is why you might be experiencing problems activating:

    • Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Windows 8.0 Core, Windows 8.1 Core
      will install Windows 10 Home ISO
    • Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.0 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro
      will install Windows 10 Pro ISO

    Revert Win 10 Pro to Home using Recovery Drive ?

    Win Pro reverted to Win home

    I've been happy do clean installs of Win 10 till yesterday. When the latest update came out Win 10 1511, I decided to do it with a clean install (using the media creation tool) on my Win 10 Pro laptop. The clean install when in without a hitch but when
    I checked it's Activation it said it was Win 10 Home. I can't find a way to get it to revert back to Pro. I've done about 5 clean installs using this method and it's never done this before. Any suggestions?
