Let's see if I understood. You had a Win 10 Home on your i5-10400f desktop and you upgraded it to Win 10 Pro and you're expecting it to upgrade to Win 11 Pro but it didn't.

There are some other requirements to upgrade to Win 11.

If you have a MiniTool or AOMEI Partition use it instead or Windows disk manager.

Yes I had Windows 10 Home then I watched a YouTube video to enable tmp 2.0. Then I got the error code 0xc004f050. So I then watched a video on how to fix that and they game me this key VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T to upgrade to windows 10 pro then after that I tried entering my windows 11 pro key and nothing happened except for the message "We activated this copy of windows"

Win 10 & 11 share same key.
The VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T is a Win 10 & 11 generic key. It can convert Win 10 Home to Pro but won't activate.
When you inserted the windows 11 pro it activated Win 10 Pro.
Use the PC Health Check app to see if you're ready to Win 11

You need to upgrade the PC to Eleven. Adding a Windows 11 Pro key wont magically do that for you.
You don’t need to wait for Microsoft to upgrade you, you can do it manually.

I am curious about what you mentioned here.

What are the video links, please.

If your PC is NOT supported for Windows 11 (as Megahertz asked) then you will need to create the Windows 11 USB install media using a method like RUFUS. Then you can do an in place upgrade to Windows 11. Quite easy as long as you have the Windows 11 ISO and have downloaded RUFUS to create the USB.
You can then run the “setup” executable from within File Explorer from the RUFUS USB to upgrade to Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to download an official Windows Server or Windows 11 64-bit or ARM64 ISO file from Microsoft. Microsoft provides ISO files for Windows Server and Windows 11 to download. You can use these ISO files to clean install or in-place upgrade Windows 11. The Flight Hub...
