Later in Midievil Life a knight had to provide for his own arms, armor, horses and retainers and money-based economies became more common. Rich peasants and merchants began angling for the title of knight as well. In 13th century England, if a man was free and could take up arms and pay the "knight's fee," he was eligible to become a knight.

You couldn't. Where you were born is where you stayed. Born a serf stayed a serf, born a peasant stayed a peasant, born noble stayed noble. Nobles could move to some extent if they pleased the crown, but that was it.
Peasant
A peasant who is bound to land is a serf, while a fief is an estate granted to a vassal.
A peasant who was bound to a manor was a serf.
A peasant bound to the soil, also known as serfdom, was a system in feudal societies where peasants were tied to the land they worked on and were required to provide labor and goods to the landowner in exchange for protection and the right to farm the land. They had limited rights and freedoms, and their status was hereditary, passing from generation to generation.
Peasant
In the Middle Ages there was no social diversity. People were born into a class of people and that is where they stayed. If they were a peasant they stayed a peasant, a serf stayed a serf, clergy stayed with the church, and the nobility stayed in their class. A noble didn't marry a peasant and a peasant didn't become educated since there were no schools. There was no upward mobility within the society.
A peasant was a small farmer, who might be a serf, a free tenant, or even a yeoman who had his own land. A serf was usually a peasant, but not always. A serf bound to a manor, and was not free to leave it. Aside from being a farmer, serf could also be a laborer of some type. So many peasants were serfs, and most serfs were peasants.
They would be a serf.
