    Windows 11 Pro Upgrade from Windows 10 Pro Edition

    No but after it installed the malfunctioning Windows 11 upgrade it was listed as Windows 11 Pro. Microsoft Windows support advised I reinstall Windows 10 Pro and said that Windows 11 is really only meant for new PC's that come with it preinstalled. MSI website doesn't list my 2020 GT76 Titan dt-039 notebook on their Windows 11 upgrade eligibility list so I guess that's why the Windows 11 Pro upgrade failed. I suggest being careful with trying the Windows 11 upgrade despite it stating my notebook was capable of running Windows 11 it was wrong. Luckily I have the original Windows 10 Pro USB Flash drive because the Windows 11 Pro upgrade was so incomplete I had no way of reverting notebook back to Windows 10 without reinstalling from a USB Flash.

    Windows won't let me activate Windows 11 Pro on an ARM computer

    As I suggested in the previous post, you should ask your question in the insider forum and they might be able to confirm (for sure) or deny my assumption.

    When other users have bought a Windows 10/11 licence for Pro and upgraded to Enterprise then using the generic Pro key changes the edition to Pro from Enterprise and activates. I don't know if that will work of you, but you can try it.
