To add Global Entry to your existing TSA PreCheck, you actually have to apply for Global Entry as a new application. Global Entry includes TSA PreCheck benefits, but not vice versa. Start by creating an account and submitting an application through the Trusted Traveler Program (TTP) website. After your application is conditionally approved, you'll be prompted to schedule an interview at a Global Entry Enrollment Center. Once approved for Global Entry, you’ll automatically receive TSA PreCheck benefits with the same Known Traveler Number (KTN) you were previously assigned.
