Upgrading Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro
jmotbey, you can upgrade from Windows 11 Home to Pro directly from Settings app > System > Activation. Under Activation, click on Open Store next to Upgrade in Microsoft app.
If your organization where you work have deployed Pro edition for your company employees, reach out to your IT admin to cross check and for instructions to upgrade.
In case if you got Pro edition product key, then you can use following video to upgrade yourself:
Hope this helps!
Thanks Kapril. This is where I am stuck at the moment. I followed your directions and found where to access the upgrade but because Windows 11 Home won't let me sign out of my peronal Microsoft account that was created when I bought the computer and into my Enterprise account I can't get the Microsoft website to acknowldge that I have a licence. I'll go back to our support and see if they are able to give me a product key to use.
UPDATE: Thankyou everyone for your responses. I have now discovered that I had been given the wrong information and that the contract that my employer has with Microsoft only covers the Office suite and not Windows.

I have had issues with trying to use an Enterprise Microsoft account and a Personal Microsoft at the same time. All sorts of problems can happen with that. If I were you I would create a second User on your personal laptop. So one login would be personal and the other would be for work. Yep... just keep them separate.
