I have a Dell laptop running Windows 10 Pro for Workstations that is compatible with Windows 11 and also have a Windows 11 Enterprise ISO. Can I upgrade directly from Windows 10 Pro for Workstations to Windows 11 Enterprise or will I have to stay with the "for Workstations" version of Windows?

    Yes you can upgrade, it needs separate windows 11 for business edition iso file...

    Windows 11 pro for workstation is better than Windows 11 pro.

    Windows 11 pro for workstation is support Refs file system.

    Windows 11 enterprise does not support Refs file system.

    Thanks Paul.

    I'll give it a shot. Oddly, I have scoured the internet and find zero references to upgrading from Pro for Workstations to Enterprise.
