How to Obtain an Activation Key for Windows 11
Introduction
Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 11, requires an activation key for full functionality. This key can be obtained in a variety of ways, depending on the version of Windows 11 you have installed.
OEM Keys
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) keys are typically bundled with pre-built machines. These keys are less expensive than retail keys but are tied to the specific hardware on which they are activated. If you replace any major hardware components, you may need to purchase a new activation key.
Retail Keys
Retail keys can be purchased separately from Microsoft or authorized retailers. These keys are not tied to specific hardware, so you can use them on any computer that meets the system requirements.
Insider Preview Keys
Insider Preview keys are available to users who have signed up for the Windows Insider program. These keys allow users to access early builds of Windows 11, but they may expire or become invalid when a new build is released.
