  1. Windows 10 Installation media creation tool, Downgrade from pro to home


    Hello, so i have a laptop years ago and i somehow installed kms from windows 10 home to pro, but after recent updates i wanted to downgrade to windows 10 home with my original license. So i research and tried to reset my laptop twice, and now its still pro. i have backup all my datas to a hard disk and then i tried to install windows 10 iso there, this is where i was unaware because the instruction is unclear : there are 2 option where i can make iso from usb which i picked and the other one. Unfortunately, my hard disk is formatted and i found this :

    Windows 10 installing via USB deleted all my previous data in the USB. - Microsoft Community
    I lost all my backup files because i dont know how to downgrade properly, i tried the registery editing then installing but in a wrong way it is my fault, and now i am recovering the hard disk in a hope for my files to get back, because i have a work deadline tomorrow big chance i will miss them because i just lost my backup and wont recover soon, and i am not really good with computer. is there an easy way to downgrade windows? if not, then can microsoft make an easier way for this, like an option in the media creation tool for downgrading to home, and a warning for the iso thing?

    Apologize for my words and language as i do not mainly use English, and thank you.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Media Creation Tool


    I got bored waiting for my 10 Pro upgrade message so I am using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to play around with installing Windows 10 Pro.

    I chose the Upgrade Now option instead of creating media.

    (step 3) https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...tallation.html

    There were lots of different windows up till now.
    So I started screenshots now.

    It offers this now-

    This seems to imply that installed programs will be lost-

    If I lose installed programs I will use my Macrium image to revert to 8.1 Pro.
    Be back after installing 10 or reverting.

  3. Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.

    Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 PRO

    Where can I find a Media Creation Tool that will create Windows 10 Pro media?

    The current media creation tool available here:

    Download Windows 10

    creates a Windows 10 Home install on my laptop.

    The only reason I can think of for this behavior is that there is a Windows 8.1 Home SLIC entry in the BIOS, and it is assuming that "Home" is therefore the correct version to install. However I was running Windows 8.1 Pro (purchased separately from the
    laptop) and successfully did an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 Pro before running into software problems caused by the in-place upgrade.

    Bottom line - where can I find Windows 10 Pro installation media? The in-place install doesn't work for me and the current Media Creation Tool creates media that incorrectly installs Windows 10 Home.
