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

Lenovo Laptop CPU Driver Unable to Update to CPU Manufacturer

Okay, those are the first step 'have you considered this' types of solutions, and I appreciate your advice. Still, while my Lenovo does a pretty good job of keeping itself updated in most areas, when it comes to CPU and GPU the Lenovo site and Vantage are woefully outdated.

In fact, I was unable to even open Call of Duty War Zone until I upgraded the GPU driver to the GeForce driver (instead of Lenovo's Vantage version).

Unfortunately, my game still crashes a lot, and I cannot help but think if I upgraded the CPU driver to the hardware manufacturer's driver instead of the computer manufacturer's driver, like I said in my original post, then the computer would perform more as it should. After all, Lenovo essentially just recycles the hardware drivers a few months, years, decades, or never later.

So, any ideas on how to do this?
