hey all,
i just built a new pc and need a windows 11 key to get rid of that watermark. i know the official microsoft store sells them, but the price is way higher than i expected. i keep seeing posts about windows 11 pro keys and even people asking about win 11 keys from third-party sites. some say it’s fine, others say the keys stop working or don’t activate at all.
so what’s the safest option here, is it better to go with a retail windows key, or is an oem windows 11 pro key good enough? and has anyone here actually used a windows 11 home key from an online store that worked long term?
any help or experiences would be super useful. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I recently bought a new PC from a local store, but they didn't provide a Windows 11 Pro activation key. Windows 11 Pro is already installed, but it's asking for activation, and I want to activate it properly.
I'm looking for a legitimate source to buy a Windows 11 Pro key—no sketchy tools or unauthorized sites like Massgrave (as some subreddits suggest). I'd prefer an affordable yet official option (maybe OEM or retail, as long as it's legal and safe).
Can anyone recommend trustworthy websites or platforms to buy a working
Windows 11 Pro license? Maybe places you've personally used or that are known in the tech community?
Thanks in advance for the help!
I usually use VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T, it’s the generic Windows Pro install key. If you need keys for other editions, check this website, they’ve got a full list
Hi, thank you for reaching out. I’m happy to help.
The generic Windows 11 Pro key is intended for troubleshooting purposes only and cannot activate your Windows. It should only be used if you have already purchased a valid Windows 11 Pro license.
If you need to perform a clean install on your computer, you can install Windows 11 Home first using your existing license. Afterwards, you can purchase a genuine Windows 11 Pro license directly from the Microsoft Store.
To upgrade, go to Settings > System > Activation and click Open Store under the Upgrade your edition of Windows section.
Hey everyone,
I recently built a new PC and I'm looking for a legitimate Windows 11 Pro product key (basically a Windows 11 Pro activation key) to activate my OS. I’ve seen so many different options online - some cheap Windows 11 keys, some expensive ones, and some deals that look too good to be true.
What’s the best and safest way to get a Windows 11 Pro key? Are there official Microsoft discounts or trusted third-party sellers that offer good deals on Windows 11 licenses? I’d appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences from those who’ve gone through this process.
Also, how do I avoid scams and ensure that any Windows 11 activation key I purchase actually works without issues?
Thanks in advance!
Hello Adrian Knelsen
Welcome to the Microsoft Community!
Thank you for your feedback. I understand that this issue is causing you distress. I noticed that you said that you would like to purchase a Windows 11 Pro license key, but unfortunately you can only upgrade by means of a digital license, you can click on the link below to see the detailed steps.

Also, regarding your question about the upgrade price, if you buy a brand new windows pro, the price is $199, and if you upgrade from home edition to pro, the price should be $99, you can click on the link below to check it out.

You are better off choosing to upgrade to the Pro version if you want to do so by purchasing a digital license from the Microsoft Store.

Hi Brian, thanks for your reply.
The discrepancy in price is just because I'm in Canada, talking about these purchases in CAD.
I understand what you're saying, my question in the long run is if I can buy a Windows 11 Pro license key for $99 USD rather than $199 USD. A specific type of Windows 11 Pro license key that is for the purpose of upgrading from home to pro.

Actually I have windows 11 pro but just need to change the product key.So , How do I change the product key or where to buy the product key?
Hi folks,
I'm trying to upgrade an OEM Dell for which I couldn't choose Windows Pro in my specific configuration. I'd like to completely wipe it and install Pro from ISO. The only way I could find to upgrade an OEM Home, besides buying a full retail version, is the App in the Store. I'm not sure though if that would need to be installed / bound to my MSFT account so I would have to install Home, then upgrade to Pro (i.e. I couldn't install Pro from the get-go). I could find a Pro key on Amazon.com in USD but would really like to buy within the EU.
Thanks in advance!!
P.S. I'm only planning on using it on this particular machine and I really don't want to buy a key from some re-seller with questionable licensing.
