-# Change Windows Edition
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-- You can find this option in the MAS extras section.
-
-- It can change the Windows 7-8-8.1-10-11 and their Server equivalent editions.
-
-- The script incorporates 4 methods for edition changing:
-
- - May's DISM Api Method - Used in Windows 10/11 Core to Non-Core edition change
- - [slmgr /ipk Method](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/windows-edition-upgrades#upgrade-using-a-command-line-tool) - Used in Windows 10/11 where edition license files are already there
- - [DISM Method](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/upgrade-conversion-options) - Used in Server 2016 and later server versions
- - [CBS Upgrade Method](https://github.com/asdcorp/Set-WindowsCbsEdition) - Used in Windows versions before 10
-
-- Available editions that can be changed to are shown in the script based on all these 4 options.
-
-- The script is future-proof, which means that it won't need an update upon the release of new Windows / Server editions and can get the required product key from the system itself.
-
-- The script blocks changing to CountrySpecific, ServerRdsh, and to/from CloudEdition editions since it's officially not supported and the user may face issues.
-
-- The script cannot change,
-
- - Non-Core editions to Core editions (For example, Pro --\> Home isn't available)
- - GAC editions to LTSC editions (For example, Enterprise --\> Enterprise LTSC isn't available)
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-## Manual Edition Change
-
-If you want to manually change the edition instead of using the script, please follow the steps below.
-
-### Windows 10/11
-
-- To view the list of available editions, open the command prompt as admin and enter\
- `dism /online /english /Get-TargetEditions`
-
-- Get the keys for the desired edition from [here](hwid.html#Supported_Products)
-
-- If you are upgrading from Home to Pro, you will need to disable the Internet before performing the upgrade.
-
-- Now enter that product key with this command, replace \<product_key\> with the actual key.\
- `changepk.exe /ProductKey <product_key>`
-
-- In the Home to Pro upgrade, it may show an error, restart the system anyway. (Use the script if it's still not working)
-
-- Activate the changed edition with MAS, that's all.
-
-### Windows Server 2016 and Later
-
-- Follow the official Microsoft guide [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/upgrade-conversion-options), you can get the required keys from [here](kms38.html#Supported_Products).
