Windows 10: So I have a win 10 pro oem key but it says its not oem ?

I sent my Asus pc to the service, it was win 11 pro and when I got it back I rebooted my pc with a usb. It's been a month or two but now I see that it's windows 11 home. So I used ShowKeyPlus to see if my key was win 11 pro or not and it seems it was win 10 pro but I do remember win 10 pro translates to win 11 pro. I tried using it again but it just didn't let me since it's an oem key. Instead of the key I have, the one that writes there is a different key and not oem as well. What can I do now ? Do I need to contact Asus ? Windows ? or Where I bought the laptop ?

Upgrade a Win 10 home OEM to Win 10 Pro OEM with Win 10 Pro OEM Key?

I recently purchased a laptop that has an OEM version of Win 10 Home on it.

I verified this by using : slmgr -dli.

Previously I had purchased an OEM Win 10 Pro Key.

Can I use this OEM Win 10 Pro Key to upgrade the OEM Win 10 Home to the OEM Win 10 Pro.

If so what are the steps to accomplish this?

In addition, I assume that is this is possible, that the current product key will be updated to the new product key?

The reason I am asking this is that it's my understanding that these product keys are tied to the bios on a name brand laptop.

TIA

 

Windows 10 and 7 Pro OEM activation

Hi,

From what I understand the Win 10 Pro OEM key can be used to activate Win 7 Pro OEM. Bascially I have a request to build a PC with Win 7 Pro, as this is need for the software used by the business. I have run out of copies
of Win 7 Pro OEM.

I've tried using a Win 10 Pro OEM key for a Win 7 Pro OEM activation, but it's not working, tells me the key is not valid. Am I suppose to install Win 10 pro OEM, activate it, and then install Win 7 pro OEM, and activate
with the same key. I'm still getting orders for PCs with Win 7 Pro, and finally run out of copies.

What is the correct procedure to activate an Win 7 Pro OEM install with a Win 10 Pro OEM key?

Thanks

 

Using a Win 10 Pro full version disk with Win 10 OEM license to install OEM version of Win 10 Pro.

The subject says it most clearly.

I need to upgrade two computers from Win 7 pro, and will have new hard drives for each of them. The full version download for Win 10 Pro comes with it's own product key, and there's an option to purchase just a product key for Win 10 Pro OEM. I understand
the limitations and differences of OEM. The question is can I use the same full version download (a DVD) to activate both licenses, each with different restrictions, for different machines? Or do I need a separate download of the OEM version of Win 10 Pro
for the OEM version installation?

I'm mostly trying to avoid buying more than I need, but I don't trust OEM products to have valid keys (since every place I've gone to find one has a lot of reviews saying their keys were invalid or previously used). I can buy a OEM key without a download,
so I'll be sure to have a valid key, but I can't buy an OEM product via download. I just want to make sure if I get a full version download and burn a DVD with it, I can use that on another machine with a different product key that will install the key's
version of product on it (both being pro).

The answer doesn't need to be involved. I recall that on Win 7, product keys ALONE could upgrade versions. I figure Windows 10 has the same kind of thing for the full version, but I've never been sure. So I thought I'd ask.

Thanks!
