    Why did a laptop change from Windows 11 Pro to Windows 11 Home after a reimage.


    I received a laptop, that was used by someone who is no longer at the company, to troubleshoot a crashing issue and prepare it for the next user. When I received the laptop it was on the domain and the users credentials were cached on the laptop. After resorting to reimaging the laptop, it changed from Pro edition to Home edition. How is this possible when Windows 11 media creation tool auto selects what version is installed based on the key associated with the device?Also, I am new to the company so I am not sure how everything was done before I arrived.

    :)
