What a line of garbage. It doesn't automatically upgrade itself. All versions of windows are on your computer to begin with, it's the product key that unlocks the features.

you cant downgrade only upgrade im afraid. You will need to do a clean install if you wish to go back.

I'm agreeing here, it sounds like you've pirated your OS and you're just trying to cover it up. A key doesn't work with a different version of the same series of OS.

Don't be a dick (it's in the CoC) , he said he didn't pirate it.

@jd_guy17

Sorry dude but we haven't experienced that before, and as far as we know you'll have to reinstall the os to fix the problem.

Ultimate is actually worse than home premium, because it has a ton of useless features that slow down your OS. No regular consumer would ever use the features that come with windows ultimate.

 

A lot of kids think Ultimate is better because of the name, but its actually a waste of money for features they dont even know how to use.
