Windows 10: Bulk upgrading laptops to Windows Pro remotely

I am trying to upgrade our very small organization 4 users, 4 laptops from a Windows Home license with a shared Microsoft account to individual Microsoft 365 business accounts that require individual copies of Windows Pro.The other three users/devices are remote and I am the one with purchasing authority, so I need to buy all four licenses. There does not seem to be an easy way to do that - I only can buy one for this laptop directly or buy 3rd party. I would prefer to buy directly from Microsoft if I can.I see you can buy a Windows 10 Home - Pro upgrade license for $99, I would like to buy

Can't Remote Desktop Into PC even after PRO Upgrade

Hi all, I am wondering if someone can help me get Remote Desktop working. Here is the problem:
I have a brand new Acer Desktop PC that came with Windows 10 Home, after unsuccessfully trying to get remote desktop working on Home I eventually bought the upgrade to Pro.
The PC upgraded to Pro but I am still unable to connect to the PC via Remote Desktop Connection.
I am sure the IP is correct is because I can ping the PC from another PC on the same network and I get a reply back successfully.
I have tried several steps and procedures found via google(changing services properties, disabling firewall, allowing RDP etc...) but nothing is working.
Currently I am resetting the computer back to default in hopes this fixes any issues I may have caused during my troubleshooting
Any ideas/suggestions that you guys have that got Remote Desktop Connection working would be great, thanks in advance!
