[SOLVED] Reuse Windows Product Key

Solution


Going from Education back to Home may involve a full wipe and reinstall.

What specific software do you need the Education for? An alternate solution might be to run the Education as a guestOS in a VirtualMachine.

I currently have Windows Home. I'm a college student and I need to use Windows Education for a certain software for one of my classes. I was hoping to switch back to my old product key after I was finished using it.

I thought about running it in a VM but wasn't sure which would be the easier solution. I wasn't sure if i would have to reinstall the OS to switch the keys. The software is Docker.

Going from Home to Education is a feature Upgrade.
You can't go down from Edu to Home in the feature set without a full wipe and reinstall.

Try it in the VM. See what happens.
