How to Downgrade from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Home
How to Revert Windows Pro to Standard Home Edition
Introduction
• Welcome back to another tech tutorial.
• Today, we'll be discussing how to revert Windows Pro to the standard Home Edition.
Reasons for Downgrading
• Windows Pro is designed for corporations and businesses, offering server and security services aswell as features that may not be necessary for individual users.
• Downgrading to Home Edition can provide not only a cheaper activation code but can have a more streamlined and user-friendly experience without the extra add on'sthat a regular person wouldn't need.
Microsoft's Software Restrictions
• Microsoft locks users into their chosen Windows Edition, making it difficult to switch versions without reinstalling the operating system.
Alternative Method: Editing the System Registry
• An alternative to reinstalling Windows is to edit the system registry and change the identifiers to specify the desired version and files.
Reinstallation Process
• Editing the registry before installation of Windows triggers a reload to a specific version of windows during installation over the current operating system.
Personal Experience
• I am one of those people who thought 'Pro' meant 'extra features' or 'better version'.
• However, I realized that the advanced features are only useful for businesses.
