    Hi

    If you upgraded through the Microsoft Store, this is an issue users have been reporting where the system accidentally upgrades your system to Windows 10 Enterprise instead of Windows 10 Pro.

    To correct this issue, your best option is to contact support so they can correct it.

    https://partner.support.services.microsoft.com/en-us/contactus/windows/tech-services/

    You can also call support:

    Another option is to try downgrading to Windows 10 Home using the following steps:

    Option 1:

    Click Start, type: CMD

    Right click CMD

    Click Run as administrator

    Type:

     slmgr /ipk <ProductKey>

    (Replace <ProductKey> with one of these below)

        YTMG3-N6DKC-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7

    Exit the Command prompt then restart.

    Option 2:

    There is another way you might be able to downgrqade to Home without having to reinstall everything, but its pretty advanced.

    Open Registry Editor (WIN + R, type regedit, hit Enter)

    Browse to key HKEY_Local Machine > Software > Microsoft > Windows NT > CurrentVersion

    Change EditionID to Core (double click EditionID, change value, click OK). In your case it should at the moment show Pro

    Change ProductName to Windows 10 Core. In your case it should at the moment show Windows 10 Professional

    Browse to key HKEY_Local Machine > Software > Wow6432Node > Microsoft > Windows NT > CurrentVersion, change the same two values as in steps 3 and 4 above

    Close the Registry Editor

    Download and launch the Media Creation Tool, do an in-place upgrade by launching the setup from desktop (not booting with Windows 10 Home install media)

    When asked, enter your valid Windows 10 Home product key then select what to keep (settings, personal files and apps, only personal files or nothing)

    Windows 10 Home in-place upgrade will be done now.

    Download the Media Creation Tool Now

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209

    Right click the MediaCreationTool.exe file then click Run as administrator.

    Accept the End User License Agreement:

    Select the option Upgrade this PC now if you want to upgrade right away,

    Click Next

    Accept the End User License Agreement.

    Wait while Windows 10 setup does one final check to ensure your system is ready.

    Windows 10 setup will check if you have enough disk space.

    Please note, you have the option of choosing what you would like to keep, which includes personal files, apps and settings.

    If you want to perform a new install or just keep your files click Change what to keep. Once you have chosen the desired options, click Install to begin.

    This will be your screen for a little while. During the installation, your computer will restart several times.

    After the first restart, Windows 10 setup will resume. You will notice the setup experience has once again been refined from the previous animated circle. This will be your screen for a while. When complete, Windows 10 setup will restart automatically.

    Sign into your account.

    Wait while Windows 10 completes application updates and post setup tasks.

    That’s it, the Windows 10 Creators Update is installed.You can check Windows Update for latest updates, click Start > Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Check for Updates.

    If you are finding it difficult to carry out some of the steps described below, please review detailed instructions how to perform them:

    How did you initiate the upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise, was it by entering a key or did you upgrade through the Store?

    Rollback is only available when you perform in place upgrades from a previous version of Windows 10 or earlier version Windows.

    See:

    How to Use The Rollback Function in Windows 10

    To return to a previous version of Windows you’ll either have to roll back (if within 10 days) or clean install Windows.
