    Upgrade Win11 Home to Pro with Win10 Pro license

    I purchased a PC with Win11 Home on it.

    I have on my Microsoft account a Win10 Pro license from my old PC that is not being used.

    Can I use that Win10 Pro license to upgrade my new Win11 Home to Pro?

    Upgrading to Win11 with Pro

    I'm currently running Windows 10, and I'm thinking about upgrading to Windows 11.

    Since being on 10 I bought & installed Pro so what happens with that? Is it something I can download again on Win11 or do I get 11 Pro?
