    Windows 11 Pro upgrade gave me Windows 11 Enterprise and won't activate.


    Yesterday, I purchased Windows 11 Pro upgrade through the Microsoft Store. After completing the purchase, I followed the link to install. After the install, my machine shows that windows is not activated. The confirmation email did not include a link for a digital license. When I check my windows version, it now says Windows 11 Enterprise not Pro. What happened and how do I get Windows activated?

    :)

    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.

  3. Upgrade Windows 11 Home to Enterprise

    Hi everyone,

    I have a Surface Pro 9 which came with Windows 11 Home edition. I would like to upgrade this to Windows 11 Enterprise.

    I own a Windows 11 Pro Licence. I am also entitled to use Windows 11 Enterprise through our M365 E3 Subscription.

    I thought I could just remove Windows 11 Home edition. Install Windows 11 Pro using the licence I own, and then upgrade to Windows 11 Enterprise but someone has suggested to me that this breaches the licencing agreement because the Surface Pro did not originally come with Windows 11 Pro or Windows 11 Enterprise. This sounds a little daft to me and I am struggling to find the T&Cs to verify. Does anyone happen to know if this is true please, or am I free to do as I planned?

    Many thanks

    Simon

    Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Enterprise

    Hi There,

    I bought a laptop which was pre-installed with Windows 11 Home.

    Our company received our latest activation keys for Windows 11 Enterprise and I need to upgrade to it.

    I am battling to find any info on upgrading from 11 home to 11 Enterprise. Searching around I only found info on how to upgrade to Pro edition and one post suggesting that upgrading from Home to Enterprise requires new installation of Windows 11 Enterprise,

    I already have valid and licensed O365, Visual Studio etc. installed and configured and would not want to redo all of it.

    Will running changepk.exe with Enterprise product key successfully upgrade to Enterprise?

    Will inserting the new product key simply upgrade to Enterprise?

    Help on this will be appreciated.
