    Upgrading to windows 11


    hi, I have a laptop with Win 10 Pro. The license has not been activated. I applied windows updates and upgraded to Win 11. The license has not been activated. This is the specification shown in control panel. Can I purchase a Windows 11 HOME license and activate this edition as Windows 11 HOME not as PRO? I don't need a PRO version on this laptop. Thanks.

    1. How many GB it is? when my pc suggested the upgrade yesterday, it said it's about 4GB just want to be sure.
    2. I'm using a windows 10 pro so if I upgrade, will it upgrade to a windows 11 pro?

    Upgrade to Windows 11

    I want to upgrade my OS from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I have run the compatibility software and got the message that says my Windows 10 software is not compatible with upgrading to Windows 11. I'm looking for a point & click application that will make my Windows 10 OS upgradable to Windows 11 or a file that will provide step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish the upgrade to Windows 11. I expect a list of files/applications that will not run in Windows 11 because my PC is not capable of running the new applications w/o hardware upgrades.
