    Hey Tony,

    You can do this from within Windows 11 Home itself including purchasing the Windows 11 Pro license from the Microsoft Store on your device.

    Detailed steps are laid out on this Microsoft support article - Upgrade Windows Home to Windows Pro.

    Good Luck - let us know how it goes.

    Hello,

    Go to Settings > System > Activation, you've then two options as shown in screenshot:

    • Upgrade in the Microsoft app
    • Change product key

    If you select upgrade in Store by clicking 'Open Store', Microsoft Store will open and you can buy Pro upgrade license from there which usually costs around 99USD.

    If you already have Pro edition key, you can select Change product key and enter your unique Pro edition key. Make sure you restart the system to convert to Pro edition finally. Refer this video instructions to understand the steps:
