-# Change Windows Edition
-
-- This option can be found in the main menu of MAS.
-- It can change Windows versions 7 through 11 and the equivalent server editions.
-- The script incorporates four 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 for Windows 10/11 virtual editions
- - [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
-- The script will show editions available via any of the four methods.
-- The script is future-proof, which means that it won't need an update upon the release of new editions because it can get the required product key from the system itself.
-- The script blocks changing to CountrySpecific and ServerRdsh, and to/from CloudEdition editions since this is not officially supported and it may cause issues.
-- The script cannot change:
- - Non-Core editions to Core editions. (For example, Pro to Home isn't available.)
- - GAC editions to LTSC editions. (For example, Enterprise to 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 Command Prompt as administrator and enter
- `dism /online /english /Get-TargetEditions`
-- Get a key for the desired edition from [here](hwid.md#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 a 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](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/upgrade-conversion-options). You can get the required keys from [here](online_kms.md#supported-products).
