    Windows 11 Pro Activation


    Hi, I have a Windows 11 Lenovo that came with Home and I bought a Window 11 Pro to upgrade it from Gamespot.com which had a sale through a 3rd party. I'm getting an error of 0x803fa067 when I try to input the key.Their customer support asked me to disconnect from wi-fi and use a generic key which upgraded my version to Windows 11 Pro but now I can't activate it. Is it a fake key? Their support email address is *** Email address is removed for privacy *** let me know what I need to do to resolve this.Thank you!

    :)

    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.

    Free upgrade from Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro using 10 Pro retail license

    My current computer has an activated Windows 10 Pro retail license. I'm planning to replace my current computer by buying a new computer that comes preinstalled with Windows 11 Home, and then I understand I can use my 10 Pro license to upgrade to 11 Pro for free.

    What's the most straightforward way of accomplishing this? The obvious approach that comes to mind involves two steps:

    1. Reinstall Windows 10 Pro on new computer and activate with my existing retail license.
    2. Upgrade new computer to 11 Pro for free through the settings.
    Is there a simpler way of doing this without having to reinstall Windows 10? For example, would it be possible to somehow "trade in" my Windows 10 Pro license for 11 Pro? I'm fairly new to Windows licensing and am just trying to understand what is possible/best practice, with minimal effort.
