I've a new laptop that I need to upgrade from Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro.
Is the process fairly simple? Can it be done without a reinstallation?

Do you need to join a domain or is it something else?

Buy a home->pro key, e.g.
<https://pckeys.uk/windows-10-home-to-professional-upgrade>
Settings / System / Activation / Upgrade your Edition / Change Product Key
no reinstallation required.

As simple as that? Just enter a Pro key? Presumably, it will download
the extra/different files it needs?
I'm more than surprised it's so simple. Thanks!
Back in the good old days of Windows NT all the files were there.
The software just checked the licence to see which software should be made available.
IIRC at the time it was client or server.

OK, I use it all the time. Windows Home includes the client, Windows Pro
has the server. You only nee Pro on the PC you are remoting TO
In my case I remote from my laptops to my desktops so the desktops have Pro and the Laptops Home. Are you remoting in to the laptop or from it to something else?

Remote Desktop is certainly nice to use, but there is a free alternative >which
works on any version of Windows.
