Hello Tim,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

To change from Windows 11 Enterprise Evaluation to Windows 11 Enterprise or Education without resetting the PC, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Click on "Update & Security".
3. Click on "Activation" in the left pane.
4. Click on "Change product key".
5. Enter the product key for Windows 11 Enterprise or Education that you have obtained.
6. Click on "Next" and follow the prompts to complete the activation process.

Once the activation process is complete, your PC will be running Windows 11 Enterprise or Education without the need to reset it. Please note that this process will only work if you have a valid product key for Windows 11 Enterprise or Education.

Note: Please back up all the data before you make this change to avoid data loss.

If it does not work, you may try the method in this thread.
