The main differences between Windows 11 Home and Pro are: Windows 11 Pro adds: BitLocker - full disk encryption for better security Remote Desktop - lets you access your PC remotely (Home can only connect as a client, not host) Hyper-V - Microsoft's virtualization platform for running virtual machines Group Policy Editor - for advanced system configuration Domain join - ability to connect to corporate/school networks Windows Sandbox - run programs in an isolated environment Assigned Access - kiosk mode features Better management tools for businesses For most home users, Windows 11 Home has everything they need. Pro is mainly beneficial if you need enterprise features, want to run virtual machines, need BitLocker encryption, or want to use Remote Desktop to access your PC from elsewhere. Can you upgrade to Pro? Yes, you can upgrade from Windows 11 Home to Pro pretty easily: Go to Settings > System > Activation Click "Upgrade your edition of Windows" or "Change product key" Purchase a Windows 11 Pro license (or enter one if you already have it) The upgrade happens without reinstalling - your files and programs stay intact The main requirement is that you're already running Windows 11 Home. If you're on Windows 10 or earlier, you'd need to check if your hardware meets Windows 11's requirements (TPM 2.0, compatible CPU, etc.).
