  1. Can't upgrade from Windows 11 Pro to Enterprise with Multi Factor Auth ON


    Recently purchased the Enterprise add-on for our E3 license to upgrade our computers from Windows 11 Pro to Enterprise. All of our users who have MultiFactor Authentication OFF, successfully were upgraded to Enterprise, but all of our users who have MFA ON, are stuck at Pro. I tested and turned my MFA off, and within two days, my computer upgraded to Enterprise. I turned MFA back ON for myself, and within about two or three months, I was downgraded back to Pro. Does anybody have any experience with this or any ideas on how to keep MFA on, but also upgrade to Enterp

    :)

    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.

    Can't upgrade from Windows 11 Pro to Enterprise with Multi Factor Auth ON

    Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Enterprise

    Hi There,

    I bought a laptop which was pre-installed with Windows 11 Home.

    Our company received our latest activation keys for Windows 11 Enterprise and I need to upgrade to it.

    I am battling to find any info on upgrading from 11 home to 11 Enterprise. Searching around I only found info on how to upgrade to Pro edition and one post suggesting that upgrading from Home to Enterprise requires new installation of Windows 11 Enterprise,

    I already have valid and licensed O365, Visual Studio etc. installed and configured and would not want to redo all of it.

    Will running changepk.exe with Enterprise product key successfully upgrade to Enterprise?

    Will inserting the new product key simply upgrade to Enterprise?

    Help on this will be appreciated.
