<p>To get around this, you will need to use a Windows Generic Key first to upgrade it to Pro</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>The key for Windows 11 Pro is: VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T<br>- Other versions can be found here:&nbsp;<a href="https://winaero.com/windows-11-generic-keys-for-all-editions/">Windows 11 Generic Keys for All Editions (winaero.com)</a></li>
<li>Before entering this key, disconnect the device from the network</li>
<li>Then go to the Activation settings and Select Change Product Key</li>
<li>Enter the generic key from above and press OK. This will then prompt for an upgrade to Pro. Press OK</li>
<li>This will then reboot and once it has powered on again, it will be Windows 11 Pro</li>
<li>Now you need to reconnect it to the network and navigate to the activation settings, and select Change Product key.</li>
<li>Now enter the product key purchased by the customer. The device will now be activated correctly.</li>
