Worked with a call to Microsoft Global Technical Support
My first attempt at using the Product Key resulted in the system saying the Key was INVALID. Microsoft said the key was generic used by millions of others and that I should ask for a refund. But then I ran a command as administrator that reset the product key. After I did that the Amazon key worked, Windows 11 Pro components were downloaded, and most important, was able to ACTIVATE as a legit Windows 11 Pro install.My advice is do a lot of research before you buy this product. Amazon policy is very clear, NO REFUNDS for this purchase. If the Product Key Amazon sends doesn’t work, contact Microsoft Global Technical Support. They will help you fix the problem.

Not a true UPGRADE key!
Ungraded from Windows 11 Home on my new i9 intel processor system. Beware though that the 22H2 update should not be downloaded since it will cause your system to be unusable dure to the disk usage going up to 100% for not reason. It keeps the system so busy it just is not usable. The 22H2 version hopefully will be fixed but for the time being be careful with that version of Win 11 PROUPDATE:This key is NOT a true upgrade key. Microsoft has debugged a update windows issue I have had since I last wrote this review. The key is a RTM/OEM key that is only to be installed in the Manufacturing of a new PC or Laptop. This key will cause issue when you need to reinstall windows 11 Pro. The reinstall process will not let you keep your Apps and files and Settings so you have to wipe clean your C drive and start over. A true upgrade key will allow you to keep all of your Apps, Settings, and files. Even if you do a complete reinstall with this key RTM type key it may conflict with the original RTM key that was installed in your PC when it was first shipped.Bottom line, DO NOT BUY THIS KEY SINCE IT IS NOT A TRUE UPGRADE KEY.

Works great most of the time, but some computers need a deeper dive to install
I’m an IT Pro with an MSP with 30+ years of support experience. I have always used these keys on my customer computers to upgrade to the Pro version when they purchased a Home Edition computer without my input, and we needed to upgrade to Pro for the security and networking capabilities. There have been occasions where I have found consumer-grade computers, such as Acer and others, where the manufacturer’s operating system image may be flawed for the Microsoft process to work. If you encounter this, try the following. It has worked for all of my trouble PCs.If you ever are trying to upgrade a Windows 11 Home edition to Windows 11 Pro, and the upgrade code you attempt to enter into Windows doesn’t seem to be working, climbing to 10%, then 100%, with an error message stating that the upgrade could not be completed at the present time, try again later, or go to the Microsoft store and purchase a legitimate upgrade code, the problem may be the Windows version installed has a bad image.YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD INTERNET CONNECTION FOR THIS TO WORK.To fix (versions 22H2, 23H2), do the following and retry the code:1 – Right-Click the Start button and select Terminal (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin)2 – Enter “SFC /SCANNOW” (without the quotes)3 – Enter “DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /STARTCOMPONENTCLEANUP” (without the quotes)4 – Enter “DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /RESTOREHEALTH” (without the quotes)What do these entries do?Step 2 tells Windows to check the current image for issues.Step 3 tells Windows to go online and download fresh copies of the Windows image componentsStep 4 tells Windows to replace the existing components with the newly downloaded version.Restart and try the upgrade code again. I have had to do it more than one time on occasion to get it to work, probably because the fresh download had an interruption that I didn’t see.

Easy Way To Upgrade to Win11 Pro
My Win11 Home Edition box had some limitations to it, so It was great to see I could just purchase from Microsoft Direct a single new license to upgrade this box to full PRO version.That allows me to have Remote Desktop, but most importantly, BitLocker encryption(along with several other Pro-only features)Easy to upgrade… took about 30 seconds from the time I bought it… download, enter the key into the machine, and *Poof* the Pro Fairy Godmother descended and labeled me “Pro!”Simple! Easy! Excellent!

DOES NOT WORK to Upgrade!
Bought a brand new Windows 11 Home laptop from Amazon, Acer laptop. Purchased this code. Will not upgrade. This is not some random key from a shady website, and we aren’t just joe-schmoe with tech problems, we’re a corporation with an IT website. Windows activation error 0x80010105.

Fast, easy way to upgrade from Windows 11 Home
I have a laptop with Windows 11 Home that I wanted to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro, and I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of getting the upgrade from the Microsoft Store. Getting the upgrade from Amazon instead was a great solution – I received the product key within 5 minutes of purchase. After copying & pasting the product key into the Activation section of Windows, it rebooted to install the Pro features and not 5 minutes later, it was finished and I was good to go.

Upgrade KEY string REJECTED by Microsoft – TWICE
Digital delivery was within minutes (good). W11 PRO Upgrade-from-Home KEY string was copied andpasted into the BOX. Immediately got a notification below Box that it contained invalid characters. When NEXT button was clicked, Microsoft stated Product Key was invalid. >> Entered KEY string “by hand” and got SAME rejection! Have been doing this work for 35 years. “Valid KEYS” should NOT fail to work. >>Only the 3RD attempt, again done with copy-and-paste… proceeded to DO the Upgrade-in-place. Amazon needs to CHECK their Supplier, and Sell only “valid-the-1st-time” Keys..!
