Hey therehttps://lulubox.cc/
Alica herehttps://theativador.com/ chiming in on this tricky situation. 🙋:male_sign:
Your issue sounds so similar to something a friend of mine faced. The mix-ups between the Home and Pro versions can be a bit perplexing, especially when you're certain about the version that came with your device.
If you're seeing Windows 22 Pro (assuming the "22" is a typo for "11") during your reinstall attempts, it’s possible that there might be residual files or configurations causing the mishap.
But hey, I found this article by Kapil Arya, a trusted Microsoft MVP, that guides you through the process of downgrading from Windows 11 Pro to Home without losing your data:
