Windows 10: Windows 10 Enterprise downgrading to Pro Issue (Multiple Computers)

Hello everyone,

I hope this finds everyone doing well.

Since our Firm has started working from home the Help Desk has received multiple reports of our operating systems downgrading from Enterprise to Pro. We first discovered this as Direct Access was missing from network options. One of our admins created a script that reapplies our license but I'd like to find out why it is happening in the first place.

I cannot say if we've had any repeat offenders, but it has become a common issue. It does not appear to correspond with password changes (although, you can't always trust the information you get) or updates our msp has pushed.

Has anyone run into this before or have an idea of where we can begin with trouble-shooting/preventing this issue?

Please let me know if you need any further information and I'll provide what I can.

Thank you in advance.

Downgrade Windows 10 enterprise to Pro

Hello Mohamed,

Luckily, you can quickly downgrade from Windows 10 Enterprise to Windows 10 Pro by just changing the product key to the one for Pro.

If you like, the tutorial below can show you step by step the procedure on how to do this.

Downgrading Windows 10 enterprise to pro

The procedure is a bit arcane, but I have managed to convert an Enterprise Evaluation to Pro, doing it in two steps: EnterpriseEval to Enterprise (unactivated); then Enterprise (unactivated) to Pro. Details here.

Downgrade from Windows 10 Enterprise to Pro

Hello,

I need to downgrade from Windows 10 Enterprise to Windows 10 Pro.

1. I had windows 8.1 home and upgraded to windows 10 home, using the media creation tool 1809.
2. After windows 10 home installation , I went to Settings > Updates and Security > Activation > Go to Microsoft Store. Bought Windows 10 Pro, but instead of Install I did upgrade to workstation.

So now I have Windows 10 Enterprise and I can't activate it, which is normal, cause I bought windows 10 Pro and not Enterprise.

How can I downgrade it to Windows 10 Pro?

Thank you in advance.
