I am going to buy OMEN 16L Gaming Desktop TG03-0804no.
Manufacturer's product number: BR0E0EA#UUW
The purpose is to update the included Home version to the Pro version with a new installation.

 

I tried to find drivers in advance in the HP website but with no success.

My current machine is a Dell so the page's identification doesn't work then.

"Let's identify your desktop" (I not going to download any identification programs)

"Or, enter your serial number, product number or product name" ( i don`t have serial number, only those what i have)
-this doesn't work

 

I'm surprised that you can't directly download drivers from HP for this type of machine😲

You don't reinstall Windows to upgrade from Home to Pro.

 

A clean installation of Windows will only result in your PC getting a clean installation of W11 Home again because Windows will automatically detect the W11 Home product key in the BIOS and install Windows Home.

 

You upgrade to Pro by following the guidance at the link below:

 

Upgrade Windows Home to Windows Pro | Microsoft Support

 

Drivers can be downloaded from the base model OMEN 16L Gaming Desktop PC TG03-0000a support page.

 

The 'a' stands for an AMD PC.

thanks for the answer

The intention was to format the Windows Home drive., So the intention would be to use Rufus software to remove the unnecessary junk.That's why I'd like to download the drivers in advance.
It is possible to upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 without a Microsoft account or the Store, but it is quite complicated and requires further study.

Now I understand how to download the drivers.

You're very welcome. 

 

Yes, there's a way to clean install W11 Pro, but as you wrote, it's not super easy to do.

 

You might be better off uninstalling the bloatware/software you don't want from the HP factory image.
