I have Windows 11 Home OEM installed on my HP AIO Desktop PC. Is there a way to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro without having to reinstall Windows 11?

Hi:

 

That is really the only way you can do it--an in-place upgrade.

 

If you were to try and reinstall W11, you would end up with W10 Home again because Windows will pick up the W11 Home product key that is encrypted in your PC's BIOS.

 

Then you would have to change the W11 Home product key to the W11 Pro product key you have.

 

See the link below for how to upgrade from W11 Home to W11 Pro:
