### Upgrade from Windows 10/11 Home to Windows 11 Pro
The key for "Windows 11 Pro" can be used to upgrade from Windows 10 or Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro. Here are the steps:
- Open the settings on your PC and go to `System` > `Activation`.
- Click on 'Change product key' and enter the 25-character Windows 11 Pro product key.
- Follow the instructions to complete the upgrade process.
### New installation
The key can also be used for a new installation of Windows 11 Pro, but the upgrade process is usually easier and does not lose any data.
### Hardware change
There are a few things to consider when changing hardware:
- After upgrading from Windows 10 or 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro, a digital licence is bound to the specific hardware. If you have to make significant hardware changes (e.g. mainboard, hard drive, graphics card), this can lead to activation problems.
- Microsoft's activation servers automatically recognise and activate Windows 11 Pro if the hardware has not been significantly changed. In the event of major hardware changes, you may need to contact Microsoft support to reactivate the licence.
