From quite sometime, you can easily switch between various windows editions by just installing the reference GVLK.
!!! YOU MAY LOOSE THE GENUINE ACTIVATION !!!
For eg. To switch to Enterprise edition of Windows 10/ 11, You will need to launch command prompt as admin & run the following command :
slmgr.vbs /ipk NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43

To check your quick upgradation options & find hidden editions, Launch the command prompt as admin.
Change the directory with below command ( if required ) :
cd c:\windows\system32
& Finally run the following command for the list :
cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv all

(This will tell you about your hidden office upgradation options as well!)

Still want to have windows 10's supported version ? It exists officially! Go for Windows 10 Iot Enterprise LTSC 2021.
