Force Windows 11 Upgrade to Pro in OOBE

Modified on Mon, 31 Mar at 6:13 PM

Choose language, keyboard layout, device name etc.


Once you hit the login screen, press Shift+F10 to open a command prompt.


Run this to uninstall the Home license (although might not be necessary):

slui.exe /upk


Run:

changepk.exe /ProductKey VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

Even if there is an error, ignore it and restart.


It's now Windows 11 Professional and you can join domain etc.
