    This upgrade method worked flawlessly. I didn't have to reinstall windows from scratch and I was able to retain all my files without any data loss (you should still save your work before you upgrade). The whole process took about 3 to 5 minutes on an HP TP01-2066 OEM running a Ryzen 5700G, RX6600, 1 TB Crucial P1 and 32GB 3200 mem single channel. Interestingly I was running the Crucial Executive Storage program to speed up my daughter's Crucial NVME drive using the Momentum cache feature and I ran the update with it still active and the setting remained active through and after the upgrade....probably why it only took a few minutes to complete. I stumbled on to your video performing a search on how to upgrade from windows home to pro without losing data and I'm glad I did. Thank you for the time you put into creating this video.

    I can confirm this method worked I did the first part and then I came back and turned WiFi on and entered my upgrade code and it was still buggy but when I turned the WiFi off and entered the code not only did it take it but I got another error message saying I had not internet of course but upon reconnecting I would receive activation sure enough right when I clicked the WiFi option back on it when from activate to active in seconds again your the best thank you so much 😊 I hope Microsoft sees this cause not even a command prompt helped me on this lol we need new methods from windows for troubleshooting cause there’s did nothing.

    Hi everyone! Doug, the key you had to use for a Home to Pro upgrade was a generic product key (Windows 10 Pro - VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T). It doesn't actually register anything, more of a identifier of which version it is. Here's all of the Windows 10 version default/generic product keys. There are also default/generic product keys for the server side of things too!
    Windows 10 Home - YTMG3-N6DKC-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7

    So is this the case for Windows 11 as well? Can we use a powershell script for this or something? At my job we are trying to mass upgrade our Windows Home laptops to Windows Pro but all of our machines are spread across different regions so physical access is not possible or feasible. That being said, not being connected to the internet is a huge issue as we cannot connect remotely to those laptops at that point. Is there a way to perhaps write a powershell script that does these steps automatically?
