Windows 11 enterprise

So I'm perplexed. Bought a brand new HP laptop from micro center. Was shipped to me got it today. It was supposed to come with with win 11 pro. Got the lap top did all my set up and updates and something made me check the os at the end for some reason. Instead of win 11 pro it is running win 11 enterprise. The retailer has offered to fix it for me, or I can send it back for an exchange. They think it is likely an install error when it was done at the factory. But in all honesty it functions fine had no problems with updates or setting up the basic functions inneed it for. The win activation is showing good and valid. So I'm kinda like does it really matter. Should I be concerned or not. I'm leaning towards not worrying and running it as is. Thoughts suggestions or recommendations?

    If Windows 11 Enterprise is activated and working smoothly, that's a good sign. Enterprise editions are typically used by organizations and include additional management features, but they should still perform all standard tasks for everyday use.

    Download Windows 11 ISO.

    Make a bootable USB from it.

    Clean install Windows 10 Pro on this device.
