I downloaded the Windows Downgrader.exe file (193Kb) from VBSoft. I have an issue with downgrading Win 7 Enterprise to Win 7 Pro. Update 8-9: With the Media creation tool available, free Windows 10 upgrade is still possible.
Note: Thanks for comments everyone! Love it :) I edited the registry, the app showed up the next day, and I used it. I finally had time to use the app to update to windows 10, and want everyone to know it worked flawlessly. > Always good to know :) Thanks for comment! Also make sure you've installed all updated and rebooted BEFORE making the registry changes. I just edited the keys and ran the setup for Windows 10 Pro (without rebooting after changing the registry). This worked for Windows 10 Enterprise down to Windows 10 Pro. You should be able to do the in-place upgrade now :) > Thanks for feedback. I was able to get around it following the instructions above PLUS this: change ProductName and EditionID respectively to "Windows 8.1 Professional" and to "Professional" in this registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion I was facing the same error (Keep only files or nothing).
It works (at least in my case) !! Did the regedit tweaks and run the Windows 10 installer and have now an up-and-running Windows 10 (with legal license) computer with all apps, data & settings from Windows 8.1. So if you get stuck at the same point I did, give it a try. In desperation after a few tries, I just ran the Win 10 pro install and it worked without issue. I just couldn't get step 8 to work and got the message that the computer was being rolled back to the previous configuration. Otherwise it's possible to become an Windows Insider too (without the need to have an official product key): Update 6-7: When people may experience issues when downgrading, maybe this will help? Windows 7 Downgrader: Note: This guide will work for Windows 7 and 8 as well. With that you're done and a free upgrade to Windows 10 Pro is possible! Features missing are Enterprise options like Direct Access and language packs, but I don't miss them on my home PC. Change ProductName to Windows 8.1 Professionalħ. Navigate now to HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersionĥ. Change ProductName to Windows 8.1 ProfessionalĤ. Open regedit.exe and navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersionĢ. Guide to downgrade Windows 8.1 Enterprise to Professional:ġ.
