Windows 10: Upgrade from home to pro

Hello, I had recently problems booting my win 11 pro so I did a clean installation. I don't have my product key anymore so I installed win 11 home. It is though activated so I guess I have a digital license? Is there a possibility to upgrade to pro again without needing to do a clean install ? In settings its asking for the product key.Kind regards

:)
