    Win7 ultimate installed, downgrade to Pro?


    HI

    i have win7 ultimate installed over previous few months, for testing purposes,

    however i have brought professional edition.

    the key for Pro, can't be used onon ultimate,

    is there a way to downgrade without completely reinstalling win7?

    due to the fact i have setup all my settings/programs etc...

    Do a Clean install:
    Clean Install Windows 7

    OR

    Download & install IE8:
