OS
Windows 11 home version 10.0.22631 Build 22631
My new laptop came with preinstalled W11 home.
I purchased a copy of W11 pro. It downloaded a copy of Windows 11 Installation assistant which I have not explored yet.

My question:
I've customized my W11 home quite a bit. If I upgrade my OS to W11 Pro, is there a way to preserve all my w11 home customizations?

Thank you.

Problem solved.

In case anyone else needs to know:

Brink was 100% correct, as usual.
It was painless. Entered the product key for pro as in the tutorial and the upgrade happened with no impact on my customizations. Everything was as it was except the OS is now W11 Pro.

Microsoft did a great job and thank you Brink for pointing me to it.
