I had an ASUS All In One PC which stopped working. With that PC I had upgraded to Windows 11 Pro. I now have an HP Lenovo Legion laptop and have accessed my Office 365 account and set it up but I am unable to return to Windows 11 Pro, I can only get Windows 11 Home. Is there any assistance available for me without having to scan hundreds of web-based support articles which do not address this issue? Can you redirect this inquiry to someone who can assist? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have a Windows 11 Pro product key, then:

    Settings → System → Activation → Change product key.

    Enter your Pro key.

    The system will upgrade to Pro.

    As The license stayed tied to that device. It cannot transfer. In that case you have to purchase a new Windows 11 Pro upgrade for your Lenovo Legion laptop.
