So, I just built my new PC and ran into a little hiccup while installing Windows 11. When prompted to choose a version, I mindlessly picked 'Home' since it seemed fine. Now I've realized I have a Pro key, and it's too late to go back. Is there any way to switch to the Pro version without having to do a complete reinstall of Windows 11?

No worries! You can usually fix this without a full reinstall. Just go into the settings, enter your Pro key, and that should upgrade your version for you. The installer can handle both versions now, so it should switch over smoothly!
You might also want to check the activation settings. Just go to System > Activation and see if there's an option to upgrade your edition. I've seen it work for others!
I didn't see that option, or maybe I just missed it.
Thanks for the tip!
