windows 11 pro

Hello,

You may be able to switch back to Windows 11 Pro without formatting your laptop. Microsoft officially supports downgrading Windows 11 Education to Pro. (Note, if you have "Pro Education" instead of "Education," then a clean install is the only way).

However, before making any changes, I would like to clarify a few things.

Did your laptop originally come with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled, or did you purchase a Pro license separately?

How did it change to Windows 11 Education? Did you manually install Education, enter a school-provided product key, or did it change automatically after signing in with a school account?

Under Settings > System > Activation, does it currently say Windows is activated?

Hello,

You can do this by changing the product key through Settings. First, please disconnect from the internet and then navigate to Settings > System > Activation. From there, press the "Change product key" to change your product key. In the window that opens, copy and paste VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T and then push enter.

Allow the PC to restart and you should be on Windows 11 Pro. You can check by typing winver into the Start Menu and pressing enter.

Please let me know how this goes.
