Windows 10: Inquiry regarding using Microsoft Gift Cards towards the purchase of software?

I recently purchased a new Laptop and have Windows 11 Home. I wish to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro and was wondering, if I could use Microsoft Store Gift Cards to toward the purchase of that upgrade? Also, would I use the gift cards at checkout or should I add the gift card funds in advance to my account?

Thanks for your response.

I do get a method of payment option, but it does not list my Microsoft account. There is also a place for debit/credit/gift card payments, but my gift card number does not match the spaces needed.

Any other suggestions?

Hope someone can help with this.

I recently received a Microsoft gift card into my account. I would like to make purchases on it.

I have a game on my PC that I downloaded to Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store, there are items you can purchase for playing the game, and I would like to do so and pay with this gift card.

Is this possible? What steps would I need to take?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Likely the gift card option in game is for a gift card issued specifically for that game.

I am afraid that if it doesn't give you the option to use your Microsoft account balance for payment, then there would not be a way to side this gift card balance for this purchase
