# Windows 10 edition downgrade
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
This topic provides a summary of supported Windows 10 in-place edition downgrade paths. A valid product key for the destination edition is required to perform the downgrade. You might need to downgrade the edition of Windows 10, for example, if an Enterprise license is expired.
To perform a downgrade, you can use the same methods as when performing an [edition upgrade](windows-10-edition-upgrades.md). If the downgrade path is supported, then your apps and settings can be migrated from the current edition to the downgraded edition. If a path is not supported, then a clean install is required.
Downgrading from any edition of Windows 10 to Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 by entering a different product key is not supported. The only downgrade method available for this path is through the rollback of a previous upgrade. You also cannot downgrade from a later version to an earlier version of the same edition (Ex: Windows 10 Pro 1709 to 1703) unless the rollback process is used. This topic does not discuss version downgrades.
### Scenario example
Downgrading from Enterprise
- Original edition: **Professional OEM**
- Upgrade edition: **Enterprise**
- Valid downgrade paths: **Pro, Pro for Workstations, Pro Education, Education**
You can move directly from Enterprise to any valid destination edition. In this example, downgrading to Pro for Workstations, Pro Education, or Education requires an additional activation key to supercede the firmware-embedded Pro key. In all cases, you must comply with [Microsoft License Terms](https://www.microsoft.com/useterms). If you are a volume license customer, refer to the [Microsoft Volume Licensing Reference Guide](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11091).

>**Windows 10 LTSC/LTSB**: Due to [naming changes](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-overview#naming-changes), product versions that display Windows 10 LTSB will be replaced with Windows 10 LTSC in subsequent feature updates. The term LTSC is used here to refer to all long term servicing versions.
>**Windows N/KN**: Windows "N" and "KN" SKUs follow the same rules shown above.
Some slightly more complex scenarios are not represented by the table above. For example, you can perform an upgrade from Pro to Pro for Workstation on a computer with an embedded Pro key using a Pro for Workstation license key, and then later downgrade this computer back to Pro with the firmware-embedded key. The downgrade is allowed but only because the pre-installed OS is Pro.

  ## License expiration
Volume license customers whose license has expired will need to change the edition of Windows 10 to an edition with an active license. Switching to a downgraded edition of Windows 10 is possible using the same methods that were used to perform an edition upgrade. If the downgrade path is supported, then your apps and settings can be migrated from the current edition. If a path is not supported, then a clean install is required.
Downgrading from any edition of Windows 10 to Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 by entering a different product key is not supported. You also cannot downgrade from a later version to an earlier version of the same edition (Ex: Windows 10 Pro 1709 to 1703) unless the rollback process is used. This topic does not discuss version downgrades.
Note: If you are using [Windows 10 Enterprise Subscription Activation](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-10-enterprise-subscription-activation) and a license expires, devices will automatically revert to the original edition when the grace period expires.
