Windows 11 version upgrade (Home to Pro)
Hi,
If the license is linked to your Email, which should be your Microsoft account, then sign into Windows 11 with your Microsoft account (if you haven't already),
if Windows doesn't activate automatically,
use this command in an elevated PowerShell (run as admin):
Changepk.exe /ProductKey VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66Tthat's the generic key for Windows editions, you can use the generic keys to change editions of your Windows if you have already a license in your Microsoft account.

after using that, your edition should change to pro. you can check it by going to settings => system => activation
if the Windows says not activated, use the troubleshooter and when you see an option "I changed hardware on this device recently", use that to reactive your Windows.
you might not need to go through the last option.
