Windows 10: windows 10 pro license expiring

HelloI got my windows license from my university program almost 9 years ago. I upgraded to windows 10 for free. For a few days, I see a message "Your license will expire soon". I noticed only 26 days remaining on the license. My question is can i convert my pro license to a home license free?

Windows license will expire soon

​Hi all

I have recently factory restored my hp envy windows 10. Now i have this message "WINDOWS LICENSE WILL EXPIRE SOON". Im not sure if this is important but i have sent in my hp envy for warranty repairs on the hard disk drive. I bought my hp with windows 10 home edition, but when I sent it in for repairs it came back with windows 10 pro. Any suggestions

 

Windows 10 license will expire soon

Windows 10 Activation reports your license will soon expire.

This can happen for a number of reasons:

• You copied a Windows 10 Pro off the Internet (usually a volume license - organization - key) and changed on a Windows 10 Home installation. Windows 10 Pro is not free. If this is what you did, you will need to reinstall the previous edition
  or version you were running. You inadvertently installed the wrong edition.
  • 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
  

• Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.0 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro will installWindows 10 Pro

If the edition of Windows 10 installed does not correspond with the edition of Windows 7 or Windows 8 you were previously running, then you need to reinstall the right edition.

 

I keep getting "Your Windows License Will Expire Soon" - But I have a legit copy of Windows Pro 10!

To answer your questions:

Can I switch from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Home without having to reinstall the operating system?

• The only way to downgrade from Windows 10 Pro to Home
  is by uninstalling Windows 10 Pro first. So, before downgrading to
  Windows 10 Home, you may need to back up all your data to prevent data lost.

I've been getting the "Your Windows license will expire soon" message for some time. What happens when it actually expires? Does the system lock up?

• Once Windows 10 reaches its expiration date, your PC will reboot every 3 hours, causing some unsaved data you're working on to be lost.
• Two weeks after the expiration date, your PC will no longer boot and you will see
  Your PC/Device needs to be repaired message. So, before this happens, we recommend backing up your files and immediately install
  Windows 10 Home on your device. Also, you could try contacting the
  Volume License Service Center to reactivate your Windows as Andre suggested.
