Windows 10: W11 Upgrade from W10 via pure install from USB

Hello!I would like to ask if the associated Windows 10 Pro key will be upgraded on my account alongside with a fresh Windows 11 Install.I have not tried it before, but if it is time to upgrade to 11 Strictly through clean install - No upgrade. I'd like to know if the installation of 11 will be a fluent process with just signing in to my account and allowing me to proceed.Thanks in advance. Sorry if it is a reoccurring question, could not see this mentioned before.

My w10 pc is finally ready & approved for w11 upgrade - thank you

Hey guys,
Just dropped back in to say thanks again, here's the new screen shot showing my W10 -21H1
PC is finally W11 Approved and ready to go after downloading and applying Shawn's
W10 Core Isolation Memory Integrity registry fixes.
It only took seconds to apply and it worked flawlessly. It also fixed the drivers that were stopping me from getting the Core Isolation to work in the first place.
Secure Boot and TPM are now all turned on and ready for W11 Upgrade.
Here are my PC and Windows Settings Pages showing everything all turned On
and Approved and ready for W11 Upgrade.
Thank you all so much, yr awesome and you have saved me so much time and frustration
as I was getting nowhere online until I found the W10 and W11 Forum.

Activate W10 with W11 product key?

You can clean install Windows 10, same version, Home or Pro, and it will auto activate.

Or... you can make Windows 11 just like Windows 10...

The START Menu is really the only serious difference... and it's not THAT different.
