Purchased a new laptop that came pre-installed with Windows 11 Home (OEM-Single Language Version). I purchased an upgrade to Windows 11 Pro from the Microsoft Store. However, when I click the upgrade button, the progress jumps from 10% to 100% and then displays an "Upgrade Failed" message with error code 0xc004f050. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?Screenshot 2025-10-25 213152
