Upgrade Window 11 Home Edition to Pro

You can upgrade to Windows 11 Pro using Microsoft Store.

Dell support chat just told me that upgrading would void my support contract. I can't find any place on the Dell website to upgrade, but support chat said it cost $199. Amz sells an upgrade for $99. I really want to know because right now when ordering an Alienware m18 you can only get the Black Friday discount on WinHome. Choose WinPro and the price goes up $900.

It seems that some misunderstanding in communication somewhere.  You may install software, upgrade OS and it does not void the system warranty.  Only damage occured during an upgrade and issues caused by third party software would not  be covered.  And, for technical support diagnostics, system must be with OEM configurations.

As for Win 11 pro upgrade, it would cost only $60 USD today, when am testing in configurations.  Use link below and note the system price, scroll down and change from Home edition to Pro edition and see price.

Hi , yeah, I recently upgraded my laptop from Windows 11 Home to Pro, and it was surprisingly smooth. I also prefer Pro for the extra features like BitLocker and Remote Desktop, which make a big difference in my work. All I had to do was purchase a Pro license key, which I found at a good price on Windows 11 Pro Key, and then enter it in the activation settings on my laptop. The upgrade was completed in minutes without needing a fresh install.

You can't use the same key to upgrade to windows 11 pro, but you can get a key her in github to just upgrade : Windows 11 Pro Upgrade key
