Windows 7 Downgrade
Hello, World!
I have a quick question regarding my choices...
I have my self-build desktop computer with me at University, recently was unable to boot into Windows for some unknown reason. Needing the computer for work, I backed up all of my files using Hiren's BootCD and then wiped the disk clean to reinstall.
I bought a retail copy of W7 Home Premium, which I had been using on the computer, but those disks are at home I borrowed a W7 Professional disk from a friend, and installed that, seeing as I need the computer for exams...but it obviously won't let me use my Home Premium keys. In a pinch, this is fine because it will let me get my work done until I get my own disks from home over the Christmas break...
I was wondering if there was any possible way to, without doing yet another clean reinstallation, disable the "professional" features by downgrading to Home Premium. I know that it is a stretch, but I am sure that there is a way to do it.
Cheers,
James
