    Upgrading Windows 11 Home using Windows 8.1 Pro Product Key


    Hello- I just bought a laptop which is preinstalled with Windows 11 Home. I have an old PC with Windows 8.1 Pro which is too old to use. I would like to upgrade the preinstalled Windows 11 Home using my old Windows 8.1 Pro Product Key. Since Win11 is already activated on my new laptop, I do not have the option to troubleshoot and Click "I changed changed hardware on this device recently." I cannot find a phone number to call MS support. Any suggestions? Thanks

    :)

    I don't think that tool asks for a key if you are running the version of Windows you are trying to download the ISO for.
