So, I just got an SSD installed. The tech (that do my laptop) also install a new Windows 11 OS on the SSD (I know that instead of installing a new OS, the tech should have just clone my HDD). So now, both my HDD and SSD have Windows OS.

I'm planning to migrate everything to SSD and use HDD only to store bigger files. But, I think the Windows 11 OS that the tech install on the SSD is a crack :/.

There's a KMS Auto Lite file (with extension .kuyhAa) on my laptop, I'm assuming the tech use it to install Windows OS. But, when I tried to search it online, it kinda shows me a sketchy web :/.

And the windows is still not activated, it said an error code: 0xC004F074. I look it up on microsoft website, it said that :

You might see this error if you entered a product key for the Enterprise edition of Windows to activate Windows 11 Home or Windows 11 Pro. Try entering a product key that matches the edition of Windows on your device.

Or, you might see this error if you're trying to activate your work device but aren't connected to your workplace's network. If you're connected to your work network and still see this error, you might need to change the network settings. Contact your organization's support person for more info.

If your organization doesn't have a support person, you might need to enter your product key again

My question is :

1. What is KMS Auto Lite (.kuyhAa)? Is it safe?

2. Is my Windows crack?

3. How to check whether the Windows is "ori" or "crack"? (I just want confirm)

4. If it is a crack, then how to install the "ori" one?

5. Is installing a new Windows 11 OS free?

I just built a new PC and want a Windows 11 key to remove the watermark and turn on features like dark mode. I am choosing between Windows 11 Pro and Windows 11 Home and I would like a safe, legitimate activation key at a reasonable price. Where can I buy a cheap Windows 11 product key that is still reliable?

Are OEM keys fine for a personal build, or should I look for a retail or ESD key so it can be transferred later? I almost bought from a marketplace like g2a but got cold feet. Also, can a product key itself carry malware, or is the real risk from shady installers and downloads?

Please share recent experiences with trusted sources, whether Microsoft deals, Amazon, verified resellers, student discounts, or other legitimate stores. Tips on how to check a seller’s company info, Invoice, or Microsoft Partner status would help a lot. Thanks.

Any 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
