New Build Question

[4eyeguy]

I am building a pc that will have windows 11, my current one has windows 10. My current system also has an OEM key, is it possible to use that same key to unlock windows 11 on my new PC?

 

Thanks!

no, unless you are only upgrading 2-3 things. then it might work, but 3+ there is no hope of using the same key, but using pirated keys isn't a bad idea.

I would tend to say that in my experience, no... Reusing a Key from an OEM PC is not a good idea as it probably won't work.

 

Here is a Win11 Pro Key at Retail and here is one on a Discount Site. There is nothing wrong with the Discount Keys. I use them everyday. These days the Base OS can be Downloaded for Free. The only few drawbacks are you won't be able to change the Background Image and have some Settings and Programs Disabled.

 

Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (USB) $198.99

 

Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Global Key $ 27.05

 

I have been building PCs for over 30 years so if you have any questions please ask. For future communication I use Discord for much faster response times as I have it open 24/7. Here is my Discord: Wizardsnapper#2772 I am also available if you need help before, during, or after the Build process on Discord through Voice or Video Chat. I can be with you while you build your new PC if you need me to be.
