Slightly complicated situation. I had a laptop with Windows 10 Pro and I paid full price for this optional license when I bought the laptop from Dell. This license became linked to my MS Account. Then this laptop burned out and I purchased an Acer laptop which came with a Windows 11 Home. This device is also linked to my same MS Account. I thought I wouldn't but now I need features from Windows 11 Pro (example extra languages) on my new laptop 21H2and it occurs to me that theoretically my previous Windows 10 Pro license should give me the right to upgrade my Windows 11 from Home to Pro for free as the previous laptop has now been destroyed and cannibalized, never to be used again. In my MS account I see both devices, old and new with their OSs, so there is evidence. Does anybody have any idea if MS would allow this upgrade for free and if so, how would I go about it?
