  2. Windows 11 Upgrade from Windows 11 Home to Pro ERROR Windows upgrade failed Error Code:0xcc04f050

    I'm trying to upgrade from Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro on the MS Store which gives me the page "Upgrade to Windows 10/11 Pro" (I'm not sure what that means; is it going to DownGrade instead?) It has a button to install, I press it and then it gives me an error code: Windows upgrade failed Error Code:0xcc04f050. How do I fix it?

    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.

    Upgraded Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro through Store - Activation failed

    Hi,

    We bought a new laptop with Windows 11 Home installed. We needed Win 11 Pro for domain services. So, we went to the Store and upgraded to Win 11 Pro for 130$. After following the steps for upgrading, it changed to Windows 11 Enterprise and says cant activate windows on this device because you dont have a digital license or product key. I clicked on Troubleshoot and still got cant Activate and said to ask for Help. Error code was : 0xC004C003. Need help asap since it is for business. Tried windows updates, didnt work.

    I can provide the order details if needed.
