    Upgrading from Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro


    PAST WINDOWS PROBLEM:I have been using Microsoft Windows OS’s since 1995. In the past I once purchased a computer with Windows Home version Pro not offered. Then I upgraded it to Pro. Later, while loading a program the system asked me to insert the Windows Disc to extract a file that was required. So, I inserted the Pro upgrade disc, and the system said it was not the right disc or something like that. When I inserted the Home disc it said the same. I wound up purchasing the complete Windows Pro disc, and it resolved the problem. Unfortunately, that was not a cheap solution.CURRENT DILEMMA

    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.
