You don't upgrade from W11 Home to W11 Pro by clean installing W11 Pro.
If your installation had been successful, you would have been very unhappy to see a clean version of W11 Home installed instead of W11 Pro.
That is because the Windows installation media is the same for both Home and Pro and the installation media checks the Windows 11 OEM product key in the BIOS and uses that to decide what version of W11 to install.
In the case of your notebook, the OEM key is W11 Home.
If you installed Windows over and over again you would get the same result each time.
See this link for how to upgrade from W11 Home to W11 Pro:
