This involves THREE main steps...
1. Do the registry patch.
2. Do the In-Place Upgrade
3. Change the product key.
It is "similar" to just an In-Place Upgrade... but not exactly the same.
So on the windows 11 Pro now I’ll carry out these steps you showed? Please is there a practical way for me to communicate with you, so I can show you?

In these forums... it's pretty much safe to... click on anything. There is tons of stuff hidden under links in the tutorials.
There are so many tutorials, that the author put links to related tutorials.... IN the tutorials and at the bottom of tutorials.
Okay, I don’t think you understand me yet
now I did all the steps shown in the link right, the whole installing process, then when the laptop came on, nothing changed, I rebooted it but still it didn’t change, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, why did it not change from the same Windows 11 Pro to windows 11Home, that’s what I need help with,Okay I think I’m beginning to understand you a bit better now, so probably the fact that I didn’t reboot after applying the registry patch, could be what made it not to change??You may have to reboot the computer to apply the changes.
There are many things like... some registry patches, some tweak tools, some commands... that require a reboot before they take effect. For me... I just made it a habit to reboot after I change something, and still haven't seen the change.
If I was doing the Downgrade tutorial, I would do it like this...
1. Apply the registry patch, then reboot.
2. Do the In-Place Upgrade.
3. Change the product key, then reboot.
And... if it still didn't work, I would cry, cuss, throw things, then wait for @Brink (our tutorial guy), to come online and explain what I did wrong.
Oh okay, so it’s possible that me not rebooting was the issue, I will try the whole process again sha, also please, when you say I should change the product key how do you mean? Am I to retype the same product key I was told Belong to a windows 11 home??
