<li>You can find this option in the MAS extras section.</li>
<li>It can change the Windows 7-8-8.1-10-11 and their Server equivalent editions.</li>
<li>The script incorporates 4 methods for edition changing:<!---->
<ul>
<li>May's DISM Api Method - Used in Windows 10/11 Core to Non-Core edition change</li>
<li><ahref="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/windows-edition-upgrades#upgrade-using-a-command-line-tool"target="_blank"rel="noopener noreferrer">slmgr /ipk Method</a> - Used in Windows 10/11 where edition license files are already there</li>
<li><ahref="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/upgrade-conversion-options"target="_blank"rel="noopener noreferrer">DISM Method</a> - Used in Server 2016 and later server versions</li>
<li><ahref="https://github.com/asdcorp/Set-WindowsCbsEdition"target="_blank"rel="noopener noreferrer">CBS Upgrade Method</a> - Used in Windows versions before 10</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Available editions that can be changed to are shown in the script based on all these 4 options.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>The script blocks changing to CountrySpecific, ServerRdsh, and to/from CloudEdition editions since it's officially not supported and the user may face issues.</li>
<li>The script cannot change,<!---->
<ul>
<li>Non-Core editions to Core editions (For example, Pro > Home isn't available)</li>
<li>GAC editions to LTSC editions (For example, Enterprise > Enterprise LTSC isn't available)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
