    fresh windows 11 pro install. can't connect to internet which active and plugged in with...


    Fresh install of windows 11 pro into desktop ssd. Can't connect to internet. PC is dual boot system with Ubuntu on seperate ssd which works perfectly no network problems. PC has direct internet connection with ethernet cable. Tried many suggested fixes but I couldn't get any to work. May be me I'm not a newbie nor am I a computer wizard. Getting very frustrated. I would appreciate any suggestion from someone who might have had a similar problem.

    :)

    Guide: use Pre-activated Windows 7 OEM License on fresh installation

    U can't use this method to "upgrade" ur Windows Home Premium to Pro or Ultimate it simply just backup ur activation key.

    Unable to upgrade Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro

    Thanks much, Dave, indeed it was a big job.

    Clean install of Windows 11 from a bootable USB helped to Activate the Pro.

    Just to summarize what was done:

    1. Took backup of the drives and save some on cloud.
    2. Installed the Media creation tool app as you suggested (Windows 11 herunterladen)
    3. Connected the USB and ran the application and downloaded the Windows 11.
      1. additional thing which I had to do is to install WLAN driver to the USB in advance, to have the WIFI option available as it was required to connect to a network to download the latest windows features while reinstalling the Windows, and Wi-Fi option was not available.
    4. Turned off the 'Secure boot' from the BIOS menu.
    5. Changed the 'Boot Order' in the BIOS menu to first use the USB Boot.
    6. Saved and Exit, which triggered Restart and Windows installation.
    7. During the network connecting stage to install the latest updates and features - 'Let's Connect you to a network', I opened the CMD (Shift + F10) and ran than WLAN driver exe to install it and then I was able to connect to my WIFI network.
      1. Optional to this step is to BYPASS the network connection stage by following this - bypass "lets connect you to a network" - Microsoft Community
      2. Then, doing that manually once Windows has been installed.
    8. Once everything is set-up, I followed the suggestion from this again, and it worked - Unable to upgrade Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro - Microsoft Community
