Hi,
Error 0xc004f050 usually means that your CD key isn't working. You entered a product key that can't be used to activate Windows 10 enterprises.
If you want to install Windows 10 Home. You need to do a clean installation because you are actually downgrading from Enterprise to Home edition.
Please be informed that when you perform a clean installation all the programs, apps will be removed and files/documents present in the installation drive(usually C:) will also be removed.
You could download ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10 and use your key.
Hope above information can help you.

Hello,
There is no direct downgrade path from Windows 10 Enterprise to Windows 10 Home. You need backup existing data and perform clean install. You can activate Windows 10 Home with genuine license you've got.

There is no way to downgrade windows 10 Enterprise to Windows 10 Home Version , you have to do a clean install via www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10, then choose the windows 10 Home version,if you want to keep your files and programs and dont want to downgrade to win 10 home, you can get a windows 10 enterprise key from keyingo, then you can keep all the same on the windows 10 enterprise
