When I did that Windows first worked a while, then told me that the key was wrong, then proceeded to crash and reinstalled the whole Win11 Home from scratch. So I said OK, let't try to upgrade it with the Win 8 Pro Key. It came with Win 11 Home (the sort that installs from the recovery partition when you first turn it on and has its own key hardwired). Later I bought a new laptop to replace the one I was originally trying to update. When it asked for the key I typed in my Win8 Pro key, and against my expectations it worked like a charm - the installation ended correctly and I had Win11 Pro up and activated, just like that. The installer kept nagging me to connect to the Internet, so at the end I connected. Key 1 (from the CD): This summer I built a new PC, burned a USB stick with the Microsoft Media Creator, then installed Win11 Pro from the stick.
