    I just paid for Windows 11 Home, however, when it downloaded and upgraded my computer, it was Windows Pro that was downloaded and now I don't even know how to upgrade or downgrade in order for the activation key to work.

  2. I have Windows 10 Home Edition. I want to get Windows 11 Pro Edition. How?

    Either options you can try:

    • Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Pro (paid upgrade) and then upgrade Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro (free upgrade if device is eligible for Windows 11).
    • Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 11 Home (free upgrade if device is eligible for Windows 11) and then upgrade Windows 11 Home to Pro (paid upgrade).

    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.

    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.
