can I stop Itunes match and switch to Apple Music

I recently moved my Itunes library to a new laptop and now numerous old downloads show as greyed out. These are older downloads from the Itunes store. I have Itunes match and my library is synced. I am wondering if changing my subscription to apple music will let me get this music back without buying a new download.

Windows, Windows 10

How do I access my old iTunes music library? Apple Music doesn’t allow me to listen to purchased downloaded cds? This is music that I purchased on CD and downloaded to my iTunes library, but now can no longer listen to those songs because they aren’t available on Apple Music. How do I get my purchased music back?

After stopping Apple music sub., my pre-owned iTunes tracks are now missing....why? I recently subscribed to Apple Music. I then stopped my subscription. Since then I've been getting 'The song “Everything's a Lie” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?' when I play the music I already own from iTunes in Apple Music. This is happening loads. Does anyone know why? I dont want to have to go through and re-link everything :-(

How can I listen to my purchased music without iTunes on iPhone? I have a huge library of purchase music most of which are from CD's that I added to my old iTunes account. Since my music would not all fit on my phone I subscribe to iTune Match which I cancelled a few years ago. I am now trying to just add certain artist to my iphone and all of my library is still there but cannot access because it tells me I need to resubscribe to iTune Match which I dont think is even an option anymore. How can I reset my library on my phone to just the check songs? I tried removing the app and reinstalling and that did not work and I do not want to subscribe to apple music. Please help!

Changing plans isn't going to magically fix any current issues. iTunes Match and Apple Music both use iCloud Music Library to sync your collection and playlists between devices. What is the iCloud Status for these items that are greyed out? Do you still have the library on your previous computer, or a backup of the same?
