From Windows 8 Enterprise --> Windows 10 normal

[BirdBoy146]

Hello guys,
I have a question:
I have a personal computer with Windows 8 Enterprise installed on in(I know it's weird but this really is my pc and my pc only). I have read that upgrading to Windows 10 Enterprise will cost money. But the thing is I don't really need Windows 10 Enterprise I just want the normal Windows 10. I also would not mind to go from Windows 8 Enterprise to Windows 8 and then to Windows 10. Is this in any way possible. I rather not have to do a clean install but if it's neccesary...

Greetings!

Unfortunately no. Enterprise is treated more like windows server than vanilla windows. So you'll have to pay for windows 10 home or pro.

You could try this, but I can't guarantee it will work:

Thanks, and I won't keep my programs if I do this?

Sorry for replying so late: I recommend you not keep your programs, but I think you have to delete your programs anyways.
