    Win10Pro to Win11Pro on different laptops

    I have Win10Pro on a SurfaceBook1. It can't upgrade to Win11Pro. I also have a new Surface Laptop with Win11Home. Can I move the Pro license to the Win11 laptop?

    Win11Pro upgrade lost in reload of Win11

    I did a 'live' upgrade online thru Microsoft from Win10Pro and received/installed Win11Pro. I have since had to reload Win11 from a fresh iso, and am now on Win11Home. I have what I THOUGHT is a Win11Pro Activation key, but it isn't working when I try to upgrade in Properties>System>Activation. How can I restore my Win11 Pro upgrade?

    AccountUnknown truly belongs to Microsoft win11pro ?

    The "Clean Install" indicating as which next please:

    i)

    resetPC got Recovered which OS has been upgraded from win10pro to win11pro

    ii)

    use RecoveryKey OEM created w10pro USB / DVD from win10pro install then updated to win11pro ?

    (when OEM told there is no win11pro key to be ordered simply having OS reset for the machine)
