Windows 10 Home update to Windows 11 or 12 Pro, is that possible?


To switch to a professional version of Windows, it would just make sense to update Windows 10 Home to Windows 11 / 12 Pro! 




Especially in the course of the update, it would of course be useful not only to switch to a newer Windows 11 / 12, but also to upgrade to the Pro version. Unfortunately, however, the license is tied to the variant that you paid for. So, it is impossible to jump between the versions! 


Case-1: Windows 10 Home to Windows 11 / 12 Pro! << Not good



If you want to upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 11 / 12 Pro and activate your device, you need a valid Windows 11 / 12 Pro product key, or a digital license for Windows 10 Pro.

Case-2: Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 / 12 Pro! << Good



Even if you have a free upgrade to Windows 10 Pro on an eligible device running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 genuine software, you can upgrade to Windows 11 / 12 Pro.

You see a purchase of the digital key is required when switching from Home to Pro, regardless of whether it is Windows 10, 8.1, 7 Home. In this case it makes more sense to do a clean installation of Windows 11 / 12 with a digital product key of the Windows 10 or 11 / 12 Pro version!

Case-3:  Make Windows 11 / 12  Home to  Windows 11 / 12  Pro


►► Change product key Windows 11 / 12, or make Home to Pro?
