Windows 10: Transferring Product ID from one PC to another

I'm planning on building a small PC just for web surfing, streaming and movies. If I upgrade my current OS on my current PC from Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro, can I use the Product ID from my Windows 11 Home OS to the new PC?

How to transfer Windows 10 license to different PC and MS account

Hi Everyone, I need to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 and I think I may be able to do it via an unused Win 10 gaming PC that is around the house. It belonged to another member of the family. I have reset the unused PC and done little else with it. I have gathered the following details:

• Windows 10 Home product key
• MS account user-id and password
• confirmation that the license is a digital license
• It is: Installed from 'Full Packaged Product' media

Most of the advice I see in online searches is for people swapping their own Win 10 license to a different PC. I have seen some advice online that may be relevant e.g. my kind of transfer is not just a matter of installing and entering the Win 10 product key. Does anyone have advice or know of links to steps for this kind of a transfer? Thank you -------------------------- Windows 7 Professional Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) Sorry but I did not get the Windows 10 Home version number.
