Upgrade Windows Enterprise to Windows 10 Pro
I also had no option to keep my installed software and settings. Language change did not fix the problem. What finally worked was to remove all language packs, but en-US. Then after reboot I could finally install windows 8. Hey guys, I was facing the same error Keep only files or nothing. What's the difference compared to using this page? A downgrade to Professional is not possible default. Could you do this with your Win8 Enterprise product key, or did you have to buy a Win8 Pro product key?
Hello Henk, I also was interested in downgrading my Ent edition, but I have a few questions before I install, like will I be getting three options during the installation? Do I again have to update my PC? Same as Daniele Brunengo, I only get the offer to save files, not apps. Checked registry settings twice. All good there. Any sugestions? Hate to go through a complete setup of all my apps Maybe this will help you?
Can I downgrade after Windows 10 Enterprise Preview update? I already updated to Windows I did exactly all steps on the registry but also only presented with keep personal files option without application, so could not proceed. I have double checked the registry and sure that no missed steps or typo-error.
Any other action I could do? Helaas, werkte niet voor mij, "kan niet valideren" krijg ik te zien, en dat terwijl mijn versie wel legaal is. Opstarten vanaf een Win8 pro DVD werkt ook niet, ik krijg dan de melding dat ik het vanuit windows moet doen.
Hi, How are you? Can you help me? Enterprise and Pro has different keys. In that case it's needed to upgrade to Enterprise again or be a Windows insider from now on.
I successfully did all changes in registry and got installation with keeping all files, applications and settings. Could you explain, Thanks :. Facing trouble here..
Could you please suggest the steps so that I can follow same to start installation of Win 8. Can I ask you what should i do if this problem occurs: everything goes smoothly right before the computer restarts I even get the option to keep everything including the apps , then a message appears that the windows couldnt install because of an error Windows 8.
I've tried opening the iso I've downloaded from torrent site through daemon tools, used the microsoft software to prepare an ntsf-formatted pendrive with that iso, everytime the same problem appear Maybe this will help? Hi, one more detail: I've tried installing it on that clean mode initialization without any third party programs and the same error appears also made sure i did the correct registry modifications.
How about 8. I made suggested changes in registry but I still get error trying to upgrade from 8. Does it matter whether one uses an upgrade, OEM, or full version of the softwareto do the downgrade? Any assistance much appreciated Currently on 8. Install of 8. Small code in bottom left of screen "0X -0X Tried 2 separate times with same result. At a loss. Just did this successfully, but I'm not seeing the Get Windows 10 icon. I've tried all the fixes listed on the Microsoft support forum page to no avail.
Thanks for the guide though! Just try this.. Update installs Get Windows 10 app in Windows 8. I'm trying to downgrade from ent to pro and I've made the registry changes. I'm running 64bit so I made them under WowNode as well as the one for 32bit. But I keep getting the following error after trying to upgrade with the Pro disc: Windows 7 Enterprise cannot be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional.
You can choose to install a new copy of Windows 7 Professional instead, but this is different. I have the same issue like him. Thanks in advance! Do i need a wndows 8. I ran through this today. I just couldn't get step 8 to work and got the message that the computer was being rolled back to the previous configuration.
In desperation after a few tries, I just ran the Win 10 pro install and it worked without issue. So if you get stuck at the same point I did, give it a try. Thank you! I had an issue after restart : the install fail with error code 0x - 0x This will keep all of my programs installed? Like I don't have to reinstall Skype etc. That is an supported option indeed.
Just watch for the possibilities on your own system. So just curious but is there any reason why we shouldn't do the regedit tweaks above and then just run the Windows 10 installer directly, cutting the Windows 8. It works at least in my case!! This worked for Windows 10 Enterprise down to Windows 10 Pro. I just edited the keys and ran the setup for Windows 10 Pro without rebooting after changing the registry.
I made the changes to the registry, without installing windows 8. Then went to sleep and today the app to update to windows 10 showed up.
I haven't used it yet, though. I also tried the media creation tool, and it started downloading windows 10 just fine. I can't try to install it until I finish some work, since I can't take the risk of breaking my pc right now. Replying to my own anonymous comment. I finally had time to use the app to update to windows 10, and want everyone to know it worked flawlessly.
I edited the registry, the app showed up the next day, and I used it. Hello,Help ME!!!! Hi HELP!!! I had a licensed Windows 8. Now I have Windows 10 Prof.
With all the updates you listed above this is not at all obvious or apparent. Since this comes up as a hit on Google, I highly suggest you rewrite this to be more succinct.
Funziona anche scrivendo "Windows 8. Will this work with dual booted systems? How do I retrieve these programs? I see that there is a folder windows. Thank you. I did the procedure, but when I am going to downgrade to pro edition, it says: "This upgrade path is not supported.

I did the procedure, but in the final stage when I am going to downgrade to Pro version, it says: "This upgrade path is not supported.
Ik heb op mijn vaste PC de register sleutels aangepast. Ik kreeg ook de melding over het bewaren van bestanden en niets over apps bewaren. Dit kan komen door de NL language pack. Ik heb nog een laptop waar ook enterprise op draait deze zal ik van te voren terug zetten naar en-US. Misschien beter om de installatie van een USB-stick te starten ipv te mounten in Windows? Then I ran Windows Update and it installed the Win10 upgrade app! Did not need the separate Win8. Fantastic Post!
Thank you so much for sharing this one really well defined all peaceful info,well really like it,Keep it up Love it- Enterprise Mobile App Development. I also needed to update both locations. To simplify this, here is a. Here's another method to downgrade Windows I downloaded the Windows Downgrader.
Checking compatibility … than I got the following report; Windows 7 Enterprise cannot be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional. You can choose to install a new copy of windows 7 Professional instead, but this is different from an upgrade, and does not keep your files, settings, and programs. To save your files before installing Windows, back them up to an external location such as a CD, DVD, or external hard drive. Is there any suggestion how can I succeed the downgrade?
Thank you Joe. I have a valid licensed version of Windows 7 'Enterprise. I changed my registry keys from Enterprise to Professional as described in the original OP. I then attempted to install Windows 10 from the Microsoft Upgrade site. I had to abort my quest when Windows 10 setup asked me for a license key.
The system remains at Windows 7 Enterprise with modified registry keys. Dear mr. Hoogendoorn, Thank you very much for this procedure you described at the start of this blog. Was wondering if in step 8 install Windows 8. Kind regards Jan. If Windows 8. Hi Henk, I don't have much knowledge on these, but I tried. If you can share the screenshot of the steps, i would really appreciate. Hi Henk, Thanks for all of the info and the further posts from other users.
I thought I would add my experience in case it helps someone else coming here. I wanted to update from 8. I made the registry changes as you described but was unable to run either the Windows 10 install or the Windows 8. Every time, it asked for a key and no matter which key I tried to put in - a valid 8. Were you asked for a key at any point? Anyway, I had fairly much given up so I ran the latest updates for 8.
A few minutes after, the 'Update to Windows 10' icon appeared in the systray. I thought I might as well give it a go, not expecting very much or waiting for it too to ask for a key but it installed Windows 10 Pro no problem. I went to activate, which at first didn't work presumably because it still had details of the 8. Job done, and all my machines are finally on Windows Hi Henk, I have a funky little problem. I had a Technet subscription for several years and upgraded my computer which came with Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 8 and then 8.
I can't find the product key that I used from the technet installation. Can I possibly use the same steps to down grade to Home Premium because that sticker is on the bottom of my computer? Or do you have any other thoughts?
It's all been legal and ethical upgrades. But I don't really need enterprise on this computer, but really would like to move to Windows I much prefer it, but couldn't for a few months because of a contract requiring Windows 8.
Hope it helps! Hallo Henk, Ik heb hier ook nog W7 Enterprise op de laptop. De registerinstellingen heb ik gevonden. Kan ik na die wijzigingen mijn Iconen en Software programma's verder blijven gebruiken?
De info omtrent registerwijziging versta ik en heb ik gevonden maar nog niet veranderd. Blijven mijn Icoontjes en Programma's die er nu op staan werken na die aanpassing. Thank you for any informed opinion you might be able to share. Unfortunately, it even hosed the recovery environment. But nothing worked; in the end, I just installed that Enterprise Evaluation DVD, restored her apps and data, and took a plane home. Last question: Rather than mount the installation DVD remotely, could i just mount the.
First of all I want to say awesome blog! I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.

Hello friends, its great paragraph on the topic of cultureand fully defined, keep it up all the time. Is there a way to downgrade to Pro from Enterprise without the installation media? If not, how can I get the installation media for free?
