It’s not like it needs a reinstall, you just change the license key.
The keys are cheap, I think you can even still buy a Windows 7 or 8 license for buttons and it works for 10/11

Nothing ever goes that smoothly in my experience. I administer four Windows boxes, one is on Pro by accident, two of the others are pretty close to end of life anyway. The real question then becomes, can I be arsed to get an upgrade key for mum's laptop just so she can obtain whatever benefit Windows 11 is going to bring to a box which is only used as a Web browser?

Yeah, and I'll end up getting Pro on machines as they come around for replacement, but upgrading to Pro just so people can still be local users after "upgrading" to 11? Ain't nobody got time fo dat
