How do I Upgrade from Windows 11 Home to Professional?
I need to upgrade my PC from Windows 11 Home to Professional edition but the process keeps failing for the second time in a row. I have a valid Pro license key, but the upgrade either stops with an error or rolls back. Please help.

Very simple.
You search and look for a "Windows 11 Professional Retail" key, buy one, they send it to you in a mail.
Settings>System>Activation
You write in the new key, then confirm the activation, and the key will convert your Windows into Professional RTM.

(This is only example, as I don´t know about this key actually, but you can find many similar.... )
