Windows 10: Upgrade to Windows 11 pro with product key

I have a laptop with Windows 11 home. The company I work for stipulates Windows 11 pro. I want to upgrade via an activation key rather than in the windows UI. Basically, I want the company to seamlessly pay for the key and send it to me to add to this laptop. Is this possible?

Hi, I am Van. I'll be glad to assist you today.

As a workaround, please follow the steps below to upgrade from the Home edition to the Pro edition.

1. Disconnect the internet connection of your PC.

2. Press Windows key + I, then go to System > Activation.

3. In the right pane, click "Change" beside the Change product key option, then use the generic key below to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro.

Once you've upgraded to Windows 11 Pro, connect your internet to the PC, then use your valid Windows 11 Pro product key to activate the system.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. I will be glad to help.

 

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.

 

Can't upgrade to Windows 11 pro using product key.

Hello,

I have purchased a new laptop with Windows 11s. I need to upgrade to Windows 11 pro for work. I have switched out of S mode and then used my product key (change product key) to try to upgrade to windows 11 pro. Each time it says it has successfully updated, but then in my settings still says I have Windows 11 home, and i still keep seeing the option to upgrade to 11 pro and change my product key again. Can anyone please help how I can upgrade to pro? Thanks.
