    Hi @john matacola ,

    No worries if you have Windows 10 Pro then it will update to Windows 11 Pro only. No matter how you update (Tool or clean install ) , the Windows will always be the Pro version

    Hi @john matacola ,

    Yes, it will automatically update to Windows 11 if your computer meets the minimum requirements.

    You don't have to purchase another version.

    Hi, I also have a windows 10 pro with a digital license.

    When I upgrade it to windows 11 will it use the license and activate automatically?

    Windows 7 and 8 cannot upgrade to Windows 11 without an upgrade to Windows 10 first.

    Properly licensed and activated Windows 10 should be able to upgrade to Windows 11 as long as the upgrade agent finds supported parameters.

    Most computers can clean install Windows 11. These can be on computers that had either supported or unsupported findings.

    There should be no cost when upgrading or clean installing with the same Windows edition (home versus pro, etc.)

    The Question is 10 pro to 11 pro not just 11.
