Basically the title. Please provide an easy and safe way to do this.
I want to upgrade my new laptop that has Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro.
I dont know if I should freshly install it, or buy a windows 11 pro license key. Since I see a lot of people saying if it has preexisting windows 11 it is embedded. What does it mean? I cant see documentation with Windows about it.
Plus, if you recommend to upgrade using license key to pro, where is the cheapest to buy but still genuine?

Currently I have Windows 11 Home Single Language.
I got product key of Windows 11 Pro (new, genuine, unused).
But when i change the activation key via Settings>System>Activation It always says Unable to upgrade your edition.
I even tried using generic key first (there's a post in internet to first use the generic one (ending with 3V66T) while disconnected to internet then try) but that also gave same error.
I also tried download .iso file of windows, mounted it but it also installs the edition which i already have.
What is the way to upgrade the windows?

What is the way to upgrade the windows?
I hope this post is relevant to the sub, if not please let me know. I just got a new laptop and it comes with Windows 11 Home. I want to upgrade it to Windows 11 Pro, and when I go through the settings, it redirects me to Microsoft store, where it currently shows $139 for upgrade, that is a bit too overpriced for me. Is there any other official way to do this upgrade that is at least a bit cheaper?
I remember seeing $99 price for this upgrade a few months ago, is that correct, i.e. did they increase the price recently, or am I just misremembering?
To be clear, I'm not looking for "grey market" solutions/keys, so please do not recommend any website that is selling Windows keys of unknown origin.
I need to run windows 11 pro/ent/edu but my school doesnt offer windows 11 Education. Is there any way I can get them for free or atleast trial for one month?
Is it best to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro first and then Windows 11 Pro, or Windows 11 Home and then 11 Pro, or all in one shot? Any advantages/disadvantages? Thanks very much.

Just got PC used that still has windows 10 pro on it. Would it still be possible to upgrade to windows 11 for free or would I have to pay for it?
I just purchased a new windows 11 home desktop and need to upgrade to 11 pro. I was unaware that may require using a microsoft account but I would like to keep the account local. I am reading that this isn't possible. If I were to proceed to log in to MS account and following through with 11 Pro upgrade, am I able to remove the Microsoft account and revert to local account with no activation issues? Or are there any other workarounds like purchasing an 11 pro upgrade key through another retailer that doesn't require a MS account?
I'm currently using Windows 11 Home, but I'd like to upgrade to Pro because I need access to Hyper-V for school. Is the Microsoft store the only option, or are there LEGAL/NOT STOLEN keys you can buy to upgrade your version?
hey all - I really enjoy reading your posts and comments here. I'm an IT Dir. at a broke-ass non-profit. I though I'd save some money purchasing a half-dozen envy laptops with 11 home with the idea that I'd use techsoup to purchase licenses and install media for 11 pro. Turns out it's a nightmare. drivers missing, etc. Can't get very far in the upgrade.. googling and AI is only marginally helpful. I really need to put these devices in users' hands. Any help on this from people who are not dumb like me would be really appreciated. :-)
So I just want to know is windows 11 pro free if I already have windows 11 home on my pc?
Hi all, I'm running Windows 11 Home and it's been great for me. I do however like the advanced features available in Windows 11 Pro. After years, I've decided to upgrade to Pro.
I'm looking at doing an upgrade and not a clean install. Apart from that, I'd appreciate any advice and tips from Window 11 Pro users and really just things you wish you knew before you upgrade to Pro.
Much appreciated.
I thought you could, but it refuses to take my Win 10 Pro key.
thanks for the clarification!
Hello I would like to upgrade from Windows 11 home to pro without reinstalling but for that I need a Windows 11 pro Key .
Yes, and it's easy, I've recently done it on 2 pcs and it's worked amazingly.
Download the latest version of the Microsoft Activation Scripts and run the all-in-one bat file.
Go into the tools section, select change my edition and READ.
follow the instructions (copy the key they give you in the windows activation change product key field WITH AIRPLANE MODE ON).
It will give an error, ignore it and reboot.
Now your windows will not be activated.
Use the MAS again to activate it by follwing the instructions.
*Edit 1; This has been tested on both windows 10 and 11 with fantastic results.It also gives the possibility of using a HWID activation, permanently binding the key to your mobo.
Although this may not be adequate for you, "http://msguides.com/windows-10" may be useful.
I have a computer that came with win 11 home. I want to upgrade to pro.
If I go through the store it is $100. But do I receive a cd key?
And if I do a clean install in the future, can I use the key to install pro?
It's honestly sad that Asus sells such premium devices with Windows 10/11 Home edition instead of Pro edition.
But do note that this method isn't specifically designed for Asus devices. It'll work on any device running Windows.
Why is the pro edition important? Read here
Before I say how to do it I just want to let you guys know that this method is completely safe and the code itself is open source. You can look at the code here.
With that out of the way, let's start:
-
Open up Powershell
-
Type
irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iexand hit enter -
Disconnect from the Internet
-
Enter the "Extras menu"
-
Enter the "Change Windows Edition menu" .
-
Choose "Professional" (You can choose other editions as well)
-
Choose the first method
-
Confirm it and wait a few minutes until your laptop reboots
-
Connect to the internet
-
Repeat step 1-2
-
This time, choose the first option 'HWID' and activate it.
Note: There's a chance that you'll face errors, check the comments for solutions!
And voilà! You've successfully upgraded to Windows 10/11 Pro for free!
Edit(2024): Updated information.
I ordered a laptop which comes with Windows 11 and most probably it's Windows 11 home. I want to upgrade from home to pro. I saw https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts/issues/55 and they mentioned a cd key. Does that cd key really work?
Hi. I have a windows 11 home edition installed and I activated it using the slmgr /ipk method. Is there any way to upgrade it to Pro edition without reinstalling it?
