Thank you!

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, this Windows 11 Pro key cannot be used to upgrade from Windows 11 Home to Windows 10 Pro or from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro. This key is specific to Windows 11 Pro, and it will not work with any other version of Windows. Additionally, Microsoft no longer sells Windows 10, so legitimate digital key resellers won't be able to sell you a digital key for that version. However, you may be able to find a physical copy of a Windows 10 Pro key, which should still work.
