    Upgrade from Windows 11 Home to Pro


    I received this Windows computer yesterday, and I just need to get it set up, but Microsoft is blocking me at every turn. It took may almost the whole day to get to the Switch out of S mode screen in the store, because THE MICROSOFT REMOTE SERVER THAT I NEED TO CONNECT TO APPARENTLY TO CHANGE MY LOCAL MACHINE SETTINGS was down... Now that I have gotten out of the completely inane S mode, which makes no sense to be the default, I just need to upgrade from Home to Pro. Guess what? Just like S mode, Microsoft has an official support page that just links you to the Microsoft Store, which clearly h

    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 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.
