I see. If it is from a third party it wouldn't be digital license. Only purchase directly from Microsoft comes in digital license form. In that case, you do need the license key unfortunately. I am sorry.
Wrong version activated

I recently got a new laptop and I currently have Windows 11 Home activated with a digital licence on my Microsoft accaunt. I am pretty sure that, on my previous desktop computer, I used to have a Windows 10 pro that was activated with a digital licence on my same Microsoft accaunt.
Now, why don't I get the 11 pro version?
As soon as I know Windows 11 Home comes pre installed with my new laptop.
Now, is there a way I can upgrade to Window pro?
