I have a Dell Laptop with Windows 11 Pro (retail Licence installed). Now I want to migrate my Windows 11 Pro Licence from my old Dell Laptop to HP Pavilion Laptop (new) which has only Windows 11 Home (OEM) preinstalled.
Appreciate any guidance.

Welcome to the HP Community --
"All things Microsoft" -- including (especially) anything to do with licensed use of their products -- is controlled by Microsoft.
The computer hardware, beyond compatibility for the components, does not care which Operating System you install.

If the articles you can find on the 'net and Microsoft Support cannot help, take your question to the Microsoft forum.
