    For online switching It's just a simple command:

    Pro<>all other >home(sl) skus:
    Code:
    slmgr -ipk <SKU key>
    Or from home(sl) to all other SKUs:
    Code:
    changepk /productkey <SKU key>
    Or use the "Change product key" option in the windows settings app.

    Best is to just use MAS (check my signature) for Edition switching.

    For offline it's more work...

    It turns out that the author of MAS is you!
    Let me thank you first. I am a fan of MAS, including IAS.
    But doesn’t this method of version switching still have limitations?
    For example, I can't switch from Pro WorkStation to Home, but those two softwares can.
    However, the two softwares do not have any restrictions. They can even switch Build 20348 to Home or Pro.
    I want to know how they do it.

    I am from Taiwan, I am Taiwanese, NOT Chinese.
    Taiwan IS NOT part of China. We are two INDEPENDENT and HOSTILE countries.
    Although I don’t want to get involved in politics and affect the atmosphere of the forum, I must explain that Taiwanese people hate being regarded as Chinese. We are two INDEPENDENT and HOSTILE countries.
    臺灣跟中國是兩個獨立且敵對的國家!

    I very doubt that @javaspain is the author of MAS (and neither am i)... And he was not the one directing you to MAS either.
    MSFT doesn't allow to perform a downgrade by design, you can use the change edition ID in the registry trick and perform an inplace upgrade to Home but then i ask, why would someone want to do that?
    That is not a switch but a frankenbuild playing pingpong with license files..

    The reason I want to do this is that my laptop comes with Home Key pre-installed, but I want to have the functions of Pro.
    And I found these two virus tools that allow me to install Pro first and then switch to Home and be able to I can use the Home Key to enable it without losing any functionality, or I can install LTSC first and then switch to Home and enable it successfully.
    I don't care if it is a frankenbuild playing pingpong with license files, I just care that it allows me to enable more advanced features with the Home Key.

    Is there any tutorial or SAFE tool that can do this?

    Sorry, wrong reply, fixed, I'm very sorry.
    Please forgive me.

    Install pro or up and run MAS and enjoy your free win 11 instead of the pingpong from server (whu would you do that, it won't allow to use the MSDM for home either).
    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v EditionID /d Core /f
    Next mount the consumer ISO and run setup.

    Either way you won’t be licensed for the Pro functions but if you use MAS your PC and MSs servers will believe that you are licensed.

    Yes we recognise Taiwan as a separate country.
    Love from India.

    The app clearly has some suspicious behaviour so it’s best to use cmd commands instead for maximum security.
