For some reason, I end up stuck at Windows 11 Pro after through this and I reset ox, and still didn’t work. I’m might have to upgrade to Pro or reinstall through USB.![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/329f92ef-bddd-43df-9b21-b40f62e9d858?platform=QnA

    Finally, I got Windows 11 Home using Samsung Recovery. There is a feature called "Computer factory reset". In this section, below the Windows version, it's said "Microsoft Windows 11 Home" and using this to get OEM back. In activation section, shows "Windows 11 Home". This is my good ending thanks to Samsung.

    Hi RepeatedKibbles

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Your screenshot indicates your PC was originally installed with Windows 11 Home, but now Windows 11 Pro is installed.

    Where did you get your Windows licence, was that pre-installed and did you purchase the PC form a PC shop, the pC manufacturer or form a 3rdparty online retailer?

    To resolve this problem, you will need to backup your personal files, then clean install Windows 11 Home using a bootable USB, that will remove all installed software which will need to be re-installed.

    All the pre-installed manufacturers apps can be downloaded and re-installed from the support page for your PC on the manufacturers website.
