I have tried to activate my Win 11 Home to Pro twice now (First with my number and second through MS Store) to no avail. "Something didn't go as planned" came up on both tries. Anyone know what's going on? How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

No 'mo.
I assume that you bought the upgrade. I had a similar situation and was able to fix it by using the Activation Troubleshooter.

Have you changed 11 in any way? It is very sensitive, when it comes to services, removed store, disabled "telemetry", etc.
