    Purchased upgrade from Win11 home to Win11 Pro but install failed.

    I purchased upgrade from Win11 home to Win11 Pro. Followed instructions but install failed. Read the support on error code 0x80070490 and tried the generic activation key several times including disconnecting Internet and restarting computer. Still fails. I'm out the cash (credit card charged) but no 11Pro.
