1. Purchase a Windows 11 Pro Key:

• You can buy a Windows 11 Pro key from the Microsoft Store or other authorized retailers.

2. Open Settings:

• Go to Settings > System > Activation.

3. Change Product Key:

• Click on Change product key and enter the Windows 11 Pro key you purchased.

4. Follow the Prompts:

• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade process.
