    Downgrading From Ultimate to Home Premium


    hey guys I have a computer that I use at my mothers house and it got messed up and I had to re-install Windows, when I tried to re-install Windows it gave me the Ultimate version and the computer originally came with Home Premium and I have the product key for the Home Premium version and didn't purchase Ultimate, is there anyway to downgrade from Ultimate to Home Premium thanks
