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.

 

Configuring Open value program with CSP for windows 11 pro

My requirement

1. I want to purchase windows 11 pro Volume license under Open Value Program along with KMS to support my local activation process
   (KMS is only available if I purchase through Open Value prg)
   

My re-seller suggested

1. Purchase windows 11 Pro with CSP (I will get MAK)
   
2. Upgrade above license with the Open Value agreement to get KMS
   

Problem/Query

1. Is this the correct way to obtain/purchase Volume license along with KMS ? if Yes - Help me with further queries - if No - share me the proper way to purchase (re-sellers doesnt know much so dont refer to them)
   
2. How can I link my CSP with KMS(Open value agreement) - Reseller doesn't know this
   
3. To purchse CSP - Re-seller has SKU/part code - DG7GMGF0CGSH
   
4. Please share SKU/part_code for Open value program - windows 11 pro - re-sellers doesn't get the same from any distributor from India - so sad but true.
   

Looking forward to have detail resposne for each my query

Thanks a lot in advance

 

Unable to upgrade Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro

Thanks much, Dave, indeed it was a big job.

Clean install of Windows 11 from a bootable USB helped to Activate the Pro.

Just to summarize what was done:

1. Took backup of the drives and save some on cloud.
   
2. Installed the Media creation tool app as you suggested (https://www.microsoft.com/software-...t=Windows 11 Installation-,Media,-If you want)
   
3. Connected the USB and ran the application and downloaded the Windows 11.
   
   1. additional thing which I had to do is to install WLAN driver to the USB in advance, to have the WIFI option available as it was required to connect to a network to download the latest windows features while reinstalling the Windows, and Wi-Fi option was not available.
      
4. Turned off the 'Secure boot' from the BIOS menu.
   
5. Changed the 'Boot Order' in the BIOS menu to first use the USB Boot.
   
6. Saved and Exit, which triggered Restart and Windows installation.
   
7. During the network connecting stage to install the latest updates and features - 'Let's Connect you to a network', I opened the CMD (Shift + F10) and ran than WLAN driver exe to install it and then I was able to connect to my WIFI network.
   
   1. Optional to this step is to BYPASS the network connection stage by following this - bypass "lets connect you to a network" - Microsoft Community
      
   2. Then, doing that manually once Windows has been installed.
      
8. Once everything is set-up, I followed the suggestion from this again, and it worked - Unable to upgrade Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro - Microsoft Community
