    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    Each computer has its own Windows installation. Upgrading your laptop to Windows 11 will not automatically upgrade your desktop; you'll need to perform the upgrade separately. If your desktop is already running Windows 10 with a valid license, you can upgrade it to Windows 11 as long as it meets the necessary hardware requirements.

    Feel free to ask back any questions.

    When you upgrade to Windows 11 on your laptop, you will need to perform the upgrade separately on your desktop as well. Each device must be upgraded individually, as the upgrade process does not transfer the installation from one device to another. You can use the same methods for upgrading on your desktop as you did on your laptop, such as using Windows Update or the Windows 11 Installation Assistant.
