I recently bought a new laptop that runs on Windows 11 Home. It has been weeks since I switched from Windows 10. Is it possible to change the software and put back a brand-new version of Windows 10 Pro?

You can only downgrade to Windows 11 Pro if it comes from an official factory copy. But if you want to put a regular Windows 10 Pro on there, you have to give your computer a genuine Windows 7 Plus Pro license code to do that.

It might take a while to get used to Windows 11. People who've grown up with older versions of Windows know that changing apps and how things look has happened more than once.

It could be possible to get a Windows 10 Home license using the same code as for Pro. If you try this and it works, tell me why. If it doesn't work, let me know too.

Hey, I actually bought the official keys for both Windows 10 PRO and Windows 11 PRO.

Which laptop model are you talking about? Does it need a Windows 10 driver to work properly?
