    If you purchased directly through the Microsoft Store then Microsoft Store will accept returns and exchanges for eligible products for 30 days from the date of purchase or download, as applicable.

    Hello,

    To revert back to the original home edition, it is recommended that you perform a fresh install of Windows 11 home and then just activate it with your previous product key.

    Regarding refunds.

    If you purchased from a retailer, contact him to see if you can get a refund.

    If you purchased from Microsoft Store, it is recommended that you contact after-sales support:

    Best Regards,
