I'm looking to upgrade several laptops from Windows 11 Home to Pro, but I'm seeing a huge price range for the license keys—from £10 all the way up to £180. Can anyone recommend some trustworthy places to purchase these keys without falling into the trap of scam websites?

Newegg has options too! Just be careful with low-cost websites; they might not be reliable at all.
Seriously, if you can't get them from a trusted source, you might as well consider not upgrading. The risks with unknown keys can outweigh the savings.
I usually upgrade through the Microsoft Store on the laptop itself. It was just $99 for the upgrade, super simple.
Your safest bet is to buy from Microsoft directly or a certified partner. Those cheap keys on random sites are usually too good to be true and may lead to problems later on. It's just not worth the hassle.
If you have a relationship with Pax8, I recently got a key for around $40 through them. It's not the absolute cheapest, but way better than the full price at the Microsoft Store.
Exactly! For personal use, it's up to you, but for business, you definitely want to keep everything legit.
