Did someone else advised you to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro? Is this the key that you have used (VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T) to have Windows 11 Pro? If that is the one then it is a generic retail key that can activate Windows 10/11 Pro but you need to have the digital entitlement associate on your account if this was purchased via the Microsoft Store.
Is Windows 11 Home pre-installed on your PC or you have bought a product key to install it?

Good day AlexPritchard! I am glad to be able to provide assistance to you today. If you were given a product key of VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T then this is a generic retail key to activate Windows 10/11 Pro but it will not be completely activated if there is no digital entitlement that is associated on your account. It is not messed up if you were with dealing directly with Microsoft Support and if they have provided you with the digital entitlement of Windows 11 Pro.
Regards,
Paul R.
UPDATE: I ended up getting my Windows 11 Pro key from vendafly.com. & 9 X K E Y Super fast email delivery, worked instantly, no issues at all. Highly recommend if you want something safe & reliable.
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!
EDIT: Since people are evidently not reading the whole post, the key has ALREADY BEEN GIVEN OUT to someone here. I wish you all the best in finding one.
I accidently bought two Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Product Key - Lifetime for 1 PC off Groupon, so if anyone needs a key for their build I'll dm it to someone here who comments asking for it. The key is best used within 30 days from today. And the key only works if used to activate windows from the settings menu after installing the trial/free version of windows during setup, not during the installation itself. So just setup windows as a trial/free user first then activate via settings once you're in. At least, that's how my key worked. Note this is an activation key, not an upgrade from Home to Pro key. Though they offered to provide me an upgrade key instead if that's what's needed. I also have no idea if the key is region locked, but it should work in the US at least as that's where it was purchased.
I get off work in 9-10 hours from this post, I'll pick a random comment or just roll a roulette wheel to see who gets it around then.
Edit: I did a roulette spin to see who gets the key, and the winner is RandomGeeko, congratulations
Hello, how are you?
My name is Paloma B., I am very happy to be able to try to help you in the best possible way.
You shouldn't need to change your license, just the new computer's Windows installation needs to be compatible with the key, in this case Windows 11 Pro.
First on the previous computer, unlink the Windows license by running the commands below in PowerShell or Command Prompt:
slmgr.vbs /upk
slmgr.vbs /cpky
After that on the new computer, press Windows+I to access the settings and navigate to Update & security > Activation.
Click on the Change product key button and enter your Windows 10 Pro key.
This must be identified so with your key, Windows will be upgraded to Windows 11 Pro.
If you don't recognize the key, first try to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro using the generic upgrade key below.
VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T
After finishing the upgrade to Windows 11 Pro, try to change and use your Windows 10 Pro key which also serves to activate Windows 11 Pro.
