Customer Ratings & Reviews

Worked great! Very easy to use and upgrade! The code was sent directly to your email.

I was told I needed to by a full version of Windows 11 Pro ($200) in order to upgrade the pre-installed version of Win 11 Home that comes with my new, Envy laptop... this is not correct. I only needed the Win 11 Pro upgrade ($100). I had to come back to the store to return the SKU of the Full Pro ver. and exchange it for the Upgrade Pro SKU.

Worked perfectly. No issues after installing the pro upgrade code

The product has serviced me well. I would purchase again if needed.

More convenient than buying directly from the Microsoft Store. The process was straightforward, and I received the license key quickly. Now I have a key that I can keep in the laptop's file folder for easy access.

Needed to update a computer for our dealership and this was the best way to do it. Easy to install and quick. No issues.

upgraded from Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro on a New Dell computer with no problem.

I had originally purchased windows home computers for the office; but upon utilization we realized we needed Windows Pro. Conveniently, I was able to purchase a new key for Pro and install it on our new computers.

I needed Windows 11 Pro for additional features and the compter I purchased came with Home. The price was the same as in MS website and was convenient to purchase when I purchased my PC.

My experience with this upgrade has been surprisingly terrible. The purchase was easy, although I probably didn’t pay enough attention to the non-refund or return policy. I bought the upgrade primarily for Bitlocker, which should come with all versions of Windows. $100 is a ridiculous ransom for this feature. I thought Bitlocker might be easier for my wife to use than the excellent, free, but quirky,Veracrypt, we’ve been using. Windows has taken to trashing Veracrypt’s boot loader with every monthly update - probably not an accident. I got the e-mail with the activation code fairly quickly, but it didn’t work. I kept getting a cryptic failure message with the following code: error 0x80070490. A search revealed that I wasn’t alone, but the various solutions offered online didn’t help me. It was two days of frustration. We have two identical 2 year old HP Spectre 360s, bought from Best Buy, with Windows 11 Home. We have a fair amount of data and installed software, and are always up-to-date on our updates. Something was obviously blocking the Pro update, but the error message was no help, and Best Buy’s phone robots were no help either. I’ve been fairly involved with computers for almost 40 years, and I find Windows 11 to be an abomination. The end of this story is that I downloaded an ISO installer for Windows 11 (not Pro) from Microsoft, because that format allowed me to save my files and apps, while re-installing Windows. It took quite a while, but it apparently fixed the problem, since the upgrade worked after that, and it didn’t trash my personal files and programs. Encrypting my 2 TB drive took quite a while. I was unpleasantly surprised to find that encrypting my OS partition didn’t offer the option for a start-up Bitlocker password, and the installation was left wide open except for the Windows login. The process for installing a start-up password was not obvious and far too complicated for most casual users, and I don’t know why it’s not automated. I found instructions online. My data partition was much easier, offering a password option, and an auto-unlock option as well. I did get a start-up password to work on my C partition, but it wasn’t a trivial or easy process. Encrypting external drives also ran into trouble with a cryptic conflict error message. The solution for that wasn't obvious either, and I found both good and bad info online. The resolution for the startup password and external drive problems involved unfamiliar settings using the Group Policy Editor and some CMD commands. None of this was fun, and I curse Microsoft for their crappy, designed by committee, user unfriendly software. When finally set up properly, Bitlocker works well, and is painless for my wife to use. The rest of Pro offers no great advantage for us.

Even if you are a home user having windows pro is very nice for the networking portion alone. Windows home does not give all the features and pro is the only way to them.

Amazing product. It works really well and loved the service best buy provides

Needed a Pro upgrade. Searched the internet. Found plenty that appeared cheaper, but they were sketchy. Best Buy is reliable had the upgrade at a reasonable price. Bought it and the download link was available quickly. Simple. Affordable. Worked.

It took about 30 minutes for the code to show up. The activation was really fast.

Great product to help setup the latest security policies

Installed to upgrade from Home to Pro. Easy simple upgrade. It helps if you have done an upgrade before. It's still a lot easier than the past upgrades from 95 to 98 from 98 to XP , XP to W7 and W7 to W8, W8 to W10, W10 to Win 11. I won't memtion from NT to 2000. I have used and installed every release from DOs to Win 11. Windows ME was the worst and Vista was a close second

Easy to install and use! My mother in law is not computer savvy but she told me that she has no problems or issues using this.

Easy to install and I like the way you’re able to backup your data.

If you arent using remote desktop in 2025 you arent computing correctly. Also being able to delay updates is a healthy way of saving you hours of headaches.

I love how easy Best Buy makes it to buy digital content so I can get the 5% back in rewards. I almost bought this directly from Microsoft. The Windows 11 Pro OS is needed if you are learning to use Virtual Machines and advanced OS features as taught in the Comp TIA A+. My mind is also at ease due to the fact that I can encrypt my drive with Bitlocker when I travel.
