    Windows 11 change education licence to home licence


    Hi,A few years ago whilst I was at university I bought a windows 10 education licence and installed it on my custom PC. I then upgraded to Windows 11.Recently, I was having lots of issues with Windows and BSOD so I reinstalled windows, before uninstalling I checked the activation status and it said it was linked to my Microsoft account.I tried to reinstall windows 11 education but it wouldn’t let me as I no longer have a valid education account it was closed after I finished university. So I installed Windows 11 Home. I now cannot activate my licence.Do I need to transfer my education licens

    :)

    Cannot activate the licence

    I did a SSD change. Unfortunately don't remember or remarked what Windows 10 edition was installed since I have several cumputers. I newly reinstalled Windows 10 Education on the new SSD but it cannot activate the licence with digital licence that is on
    the old SSD removed. Tryed with my microsoft acount, not listed for this cumputer. Tryed to check the edition through dos command but it says I dont have the same system! Very frustating. How can I know which of the version Home or Pro or Education was installed
    on old SSD? Also do I have really to make a complete reinstall to change from Education to Pro or Home? Thanks for the answer.

    Windows 11 licence

    Hi ssebado,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Where did you get your Windows 10 licence, was that pre-installed on your PC, or did you purchase a retail Windows 10 licence from Microsoft or from a 3rd party retailer?

    If Windows 10 was pre-installed or you purchased Windows 10 from Microsoft, then when you re-install Windows 11, it will automatically re-activate.

    During the installation process skip the steps which ask for a product key and select the option 'I am Reinstalling Windows 11 on this PC', and activation will not be an issue
