Hi Rob,

Thank you for posting, I am here to help. This problem occurred when upgrade is not completed or interrupted or license issue.

Please check and try the following steps to fix the problem.

Check Activation:

Click Start button then search CMD. Open CMD and enter this command:

slmgr /ipk VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

You will receive the activation successful message.

Restart your computer and check the edition of your Windows.

looking forward to helping you out.  If you need more help please let me know. If the answer is helpful, please click "Accept Answer".

Best regards,

Jansher

    Well I'll be. That fixed it. Version now shows as Windows 11 Pro and activated.

    Thank you so much. I don't want to say how many hours have gone into this.

    One last question ... while i was flailing to solve this i downloaded the windows 11 repair version. It didn't install. There is a 'retry' button which i will avoid. Is there a way to delete it so it doesn't accidentally run or should i just ignore it?
