hi, I recently upgraded windows 11 home to pro using a key I bought from PC World (stacksocial).
After faffing with telephone activation, I've finally got it activated. The activation screen looks like:

I believe the key is RETAIL:

If I do a clean install of windows 11 pro on this computer in the future, will I have to go through the activation process again?
Is the key now saved in EUFI similar to the digital licence that came with this dell laptop and that the previous version, 11 HOME was using?
-thanks
