Windows 10: windows 11 Home SL to Pro upgrade problem

I was trying to upgrade my Laptop from Windows 11 Home SL to Windows 11 Pro by entering Windows 11 Pro Product key though the windows, once I have provided the product key a "Windows is activated" pop up comes and shows "We've activated this copy of windows". And after reboot the Windows Edition still stays as Windows 11 Home SL no changes. Let me know if I'm missing anything here.

Windows 8.1 SL upgrade to Windows 10 pro

Hi All, I have a couple machines I need upgraded from Windows 8.1 SL to Windows 10 pro in order to connect them to a domain. Can this be done if I just format and reload the systems with Windows 10 pro or can they just be upgraded through the store to Windows
10 pro? Will the 8.1 SL license key be tied to the BIOS of the machine?

TIA

 

Which ISO to use for Windows 10 Home SL?


The Media Creation tool is I believe multi edition Home and Pro, like my MSDN ISO's, but does not include the SL version? I don't see it listed on MSDN either? That's a step back IMHO, it's an option on the Windows 8.1 MCT. An 8.0 Core OEM key (not SL) will install 10 Home. Verified that myself. I don't know where you get that ISO? Hopefully it gets added to the MCT at some point. It's a pain but you likely can run the MCT on each PC and chose the "Upgrade this PC now" option to get around it. Not ideal but it should work. Then see if you get 10 Home or 10 Home SL. If you get the full 10 Home, they will have a digital entitlement for it. Any clean installs after that will work with the ISO's you have now. You just select Home and click skip key.
