Hello, I have used the Windows 10 education edition based on the license of my university. However, because of my recent graduation, the license is no longer effective for me. I would like to use a home edition license that I already have bought. But, it seems that this license is not working for my education edition of Windows 10, maybe because of the difference in the editions. Is there any way to change the education edition of Windows 10 to the home edition in order to use my home edition license without any re-install of Windows 10?
