    Windows 10 Pro resets to Enterprise


    Good day,


    I purchased a Microsoft.com upgrade for Windows 10 Pro some time ago. It has worked just fine but I decided to do a fresh install so I ran Reset my PC. Upon installation I knew something was wrong as it asked for a work/school login email or to join a domain. I was unable to login with my Microsoft account, so I chose a local account. Once I was logged in it became apparent that for some reason it reinstalled Windows Enterprise. I tried to input the activation key for Proobtained through command prompt before starting the Reset but it did nothing.


    I then used the Windows Media Creation Tool to install a baseline version of Windows 10 Home to a USB device. This went fine and installed Windows 10 Home. When I went to activate/upgrade to windows 10 pro with my product key it says "windows is activated, we've activated this copy of windows". Seemingly everything is fine, however after restarting the PC it still shows windows 10 home.



    Finally I logged in to my Microsoft account from the activation page in settings to see if my key was stored there and would activate. Yet again everything seemed fine but after restarting a dialogue box appeared at the login screen for my Microsoft information which i entered then logged in. I am still only left with Windows 10 Home.



    I am at a loss. I will be trying one more recovery from another image that I know was from windows 10 pro.


    I will follow up with how the last recovery process goes.


    But I don't know why enterprise was installed in the first place or how to get back to pro at this point.

    :)

    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.

    (Note to the moderator/owner: apologies if this is not an appropriate post for this thread, in which case I thank you for deleting it. I posted only to update/correct the assertion quoted above.)

  4. Windows 10 Pro resets to Enterprise

    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.
