Hi everyone, I need a quick answer, if there is one. One of my customers purchased a new Surface Pro CoPilot +PC. It has the new Qualcomm ARM chipset. Unfortunately, it comes with Windows 11 Home. Because of this, he can't sign in to his business account in the setup. My customer has Microsoft 365 Business Premium. That comes with Windows 11 Business. Normally, in this situation, I would install a fresh Windows 11 Pro on it > sign in with his account > license would change to Business, all is good in the world. With this ARM, I can't find a download for it. I'm not sure what I can do here. I don't want to have to sign in with a personal account > buy a pro license > reset > sign in with business license. That seems counterproductive and has an unnecessary cost to it. Are there any work arounds that you know of? We use Intune and need to be able to have the user sign in with his work account for Autopilot to start. Thanks in advance. :)

You can create an ISO from here: https://uupdump.net; however, technically, Business, Enterprise etc. still require the device to be licensed for Pro - they aren’t the OS license. They will activate a non-activated Pro install, but it’s against the licensing terms

Thank you Aaron. Is there a way to upgrade from Home to Pro pre-setup using cmd, etc?
