For anyone wondering how one would go about upgrading your home install to pro, there’s (MAS)[github.com/massgravel/…/releases]. It’s a simple script that will activate the windows version of your choosing, it can activate msoffice too.
Comment on Remote Desktop solution that works without a monitor on host PC (Windows)

I’ve switched almost exclusively to using RustDesk these days for anything outside of my LAN, and have had zero problems with it running on barebones machines, zero monitor connected.
If you’re wanting to use the windows built in RDP, there apparently is a DLL wrapper that enables the RDP server on Home installations. [See github]github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases). I haven’t had to use it though because my machines are all, well, “legal” copies of 10 or 11 pro.

That’s the other option, yeah. If you already have a valid OEM key tied to your hardware though I can understand people not wanting to fuck with it.

Yeah ofc, if you already have a valid key doing everything you need you ofc have no need of it. If you would like BitLocker and remote desktop protocol (build in) like I do, you need a pro license

Thank you! This works for me!
Although, to anyone who ends up here in search of the same question, you have to enable software rendering for it to work without a monitor
