The best and free way to activate Windows and Office products is to use Microsoft Activation Scripts. You can also find official ISO's, generic product keys and more!

Thank you for this informative guide. I moved from Home to Enterprise seamlessly. Though I am not sure it went straight to Enterprise but so long as there is no restrictions I am good. Thank you once again

Be aware, this activation will expire in 180 days. Then you'll have to reactivate windows 11 pro with a key or reinstall windows 11 home single language.

You want to opt for a Retail key rather than an OEM one. An OEM one should be no more than a few bucks because they always get deactivated and you have to buy a new one. Anywhere selling OEM for $10+ is a scam. Stay away from them. Retail is the best though a costs a bit more but worth it because it never gets deactivated. It's a legitimate consumer copy. I always use https://hypestkey.com/product/windows-11-pro/ to buy my keys. They get sent to your email instantly and they're retail keys.

This is worked bro , Thanks you!!!!

Thanks man. It worked. I have windows 11 pro. When executing those codes, i got error on `sc config LicenseManager start= auto & net start LicenseManager

sc config wuauserv start= auto & net start wuauserv

changepk.exe /productkey VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

exit`

But then tried https://gist.github.com/kimgiftww/6d6242e35ef6e3baa3a6e4fb8f386d0b#activating-windows-pro keys. And it worked! Take love. I will explore more.
