    The Windows 7 does not permit users to “downgrade” or exchange from a additional premium and additional expensive edition to down-level, supplementary basic and less expensive edition. For illustration, it is not possible to downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 7 Professional or Enterprise, or from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Home Premium or Home Basic. The Windows 7 SKUs or version or description have a hierarchy. This are the following steps Starter -> Home Basic -> Home Premium -> Professional -> Ultimate.
