Windows 10: I bought the Windows 11 pro upgrade from the Microsoft store but when I tried to upgrade I...

Previously I had Windows 11 Home. It was originally in S mode but I removed the S mode shortly before I purchased the Windows 11 Pro upgrade. some tip posts instructs one to go to Troubleshoot which is a Settings submenu. I don;t have it.. Note: I verified my Windows is Activated, and verified my 99 dollar Pro upgrade was billed.

Upgrade Windows 11 Pro

I am sorry , I am not so sure about your issues, but for Microsoft Surface device , it is normally preinstall with Windows 10/11 S mode , you need to first switch the S mode to Home version , then you can use the windows 10/11 Pro key to upgrade from windows 10/11 Pro version, here is the steps

Switch from windows 11 S to Home :

1. open Settings > System > Activation.
   
2. In the Switch to Windows 11 Pro section, select Go to the Store. (If you also see an "Upgrade your edition of Windows" section, be careful not to click the "Go to the Store" link that appears there.)
   
3. On the Switch out of S mode (or similar) page that appears in the Microsoft Store, select the Get button. After you see a confirmation message on the page, you'll be able to install apps from outside of the Microsoft Store.
   

Upgrade from Windows 11 Home to Pro:

1：Select Start > Settings > System > Activation.

2：Under Upgrade your edition of Windows, select Open Store

3：Select " I have a Windows 10/11 Pro Product Key", then Input the product Key

4: If you have any error warning , please reboot your PC and try it again

Switch windows 11 S to windows 11 Home is free of charge , but upgrade from windows 11 home to Pro need a product key if you have !

Upgrade directly from Microsoft store is for $99.99USD, but you can get a windows 11 Pro key from the Microsoft partner online store keyingo, it is cheaper but genuine too

 

Windows 10 Pro did not upgrade to Windows 11 Pro

Hi! First time poster here!

I have a Surface Pro 7 which originally came with Windows 10 Home. I bought an upgrade to Windows 11 Pro on the Microsoft Store app ages ago.

I've recently upgraded to Windows 11 but it's not upgraded to Windows 11 Pro.

I've searched online and noticed some posts talking about the Activation Troubleshooter, but this isn't showing up for me on Windows.

Does anyone have any other suggestions or pointers? Thanks!

 

Windows 11 Home to Pro upgrade bought in Microsoft Store fails to upgrade my laptop.

I have Windows 11 Home and purchased the Pro upgrade through the Microsoft store. I keep getting Windows upgrade failed Error Code:0x80070490. I tried using the generic key but that fails as well. My Microsoft account shows I paid for the upgrade Home to Pro, but it shows my Lenovo Laptop is still a Home Account. How do I fix this issue?
