I have just Downgraded 25 Laptops from W7 Enterprise to Professional
Basically I created a win 7 Pro Image with Current Patches Installed
Ran a Program called "Windows 7 Downgrader" By MP7000
thaen ran Setup from the Image I Created and did a Inplace Upgrade
Installed the Laptops Key & Activated
A couple of PC were Clean installed as they were a Mess
I Created a New Windows 7 Professional Image updated with majority of Patches.
I Then Ran a Program called "Windows 7 Downgrader" by MP7000
Ran Setup from the New Image and Upgraded the System.
The System were successfully "Downgraded" to Windows 7 Professional
at this point I either installed the Machines Product Key Locally or Installed & Activated using My KMS Server.
A Couple of those Systems were Reinstalled as a New Install because of there current State.
Hope this Assists

Thanks for the reply. When you say you ran setup from the new image and upgraded the system how did it over write the old image? Or did it save it as windows.old? Or did you run it just far enough to downgrade the OS without the installation? Thanks Jay - jay.moore 9 years ago
After running "windows 7 Downgrader" the system reported itself as windows 7 Professional. You then get a Option of Upgrading the System. With a in place Upgrade where the Users data & Programs are backed up the OS Installed and the Data & programs restored.
Make sure there the image you use has Internet Explorer 10/11 injected into the image. The Base Win7 Image only has IE8.
I Injected all the Security Updates along with Ie 11 in to my image.
I had Issues with some DOTNET Security updates in the Image So I Processed those after the Upgrade. (WSUS)
