# 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 equivalent Server Editions.

- Script incorporates 4 methods for edition change:

  - Changepk.exe Method
  - slmgr /ipk Method
  - DISM Method
  - CBS Upgrade method

- Available editions for change are shown in the script basis on all these 4 options.

- The script is future proof, which means on the release of new Windows / Server editions, the script doesn’t need an update and can get the required key from the system itself.

- Script blocks the change to/from CountrySpecific and CloudEdition editions since it’s officially not supported and the user may face issues.

- Internet needs to be turned off and a restart is required while changing from Core (Home) to Non-Core (Pro, Enterprise, etc) edition with Changepk.exe method.

- The script can not change the Non-Core (Pro, Enterprise, etc) to Core (Home) edition.
