I've got Parallels 18 desktop running a licensed and activated Windows 11 Home. If I buy a Windows 11 Pro product key, is upgrading as simple as putting in the new activation code, or are there some pitfalls I need to be aware of?

Aside from being officially supported, are there any main performance advantages?
