  1. Win 11 Pro Upgrade Transfer


    My old pc had an OEM copy of windows 11 home. I purchased an upgrade online to windows 11 pro. That machine died. I just purchased a new laptop that has an oem windows 11 home. Can I transfer that upgrade to this new laptop?

    Windows 11 Home to Pro upgrade

    Want to upgrade 11 Home to 11 Pro. Tried download, but apparently files transferred were for 11 Enterprise. This will not activate; error is "invalid digital license or product key". This is on a new Surface. How to proceed?

    Can withdraw/delete this. The suggestion to downgrade - listed below - with a 'fake' windows 10 key works.
     
  3. How To Upgrade Win 11 Home to Win 11 Pro w/ M365 E3 Subscription

    I recently purchased a new laptop, and it came with Win 11 Home. I wouldn't normally buy a new machine with the Home edition, however, I knew my M365 E3 subscription includes Win 10/11 Pro, so I thought I'd be able to upgrade it. No so, at least not yet.

    My impression was once I register the laptop using my E3 account, I would then have the option to upgrade to Pro, but that doesn't seem to be possible for me. Admittedly, I'm very likely missing something obvious, but I do need help.

    Here's the Trouble (and some add'l notes): I've tried everything I can think of to make this happen and I've read countless Microsoft Docs and community questions, but I continue to hit dead end after dead end.

    Notes

    • Added work account (E3) account in Settings and ensure the laptop is registered in Azure AD.
    • Intune doesn't see the device and when I attempt to sync it with my domain, I receive an error which states, "The sync could not be initiated (0x80190190 Bad Request (400)". I feel like I'm missing a URL in a policy or need to create a policy, but I genuinely don't know.
    • I created a Win 11 Pro install w/ a flash drive. Went through the process to upgrade, but never saw what I expected to see (request to authenticate w/ 365 account).

    Does anyone have step-by-step instructions to:

    1. Ensure I've done all the prerequisite steps in my tenant (registered with domain, managed by Intune if that's necessary, anything else).
    2. Upgrade it from Win 11 Home to Win 11 Pro using my E3 subscription.

    All I want to do is upgrade it to Pro so I can join it to my Azure AD domain. I don't want to buy a Pro license since I'm already paying for it. That's all.

    Please help. Win 11 Pro Upgrade Transfer :)

    Win 11 Pro Upgrade Transfer

    Upgrading from Win 11 home to Win 11 Pro - using Win 10 pro key

    I have a new laptop - running Win 11 Home

    My old laptop was upgraded to Win 10 pro from win 10 home

    Can I transfer this upgrade to the new laptop and then upgrade this to Win 11 Pro ?

    Without it affecting any programs that I have installed ?
