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!!!!

I used to purchase from a company called KRBKeys, and they’re completely trustworthy.

Whenever I needed a Windows 11 Pro key, they always delivered. Their prices are fair, and the best part is their support team. When I faced some issues activating my Windows 11 Pro, their support was incredibly helpful and patient. They guided me through the entire process until everything was running smoothly.

If you're in search of a reliable source for your Windows key, I definitely recommend giving them a try.

For the past two months, I've been building new computers each week for my IT clients and regularly need Windows keys to activate them. I've been using krbkeys.com to order Windows 10 and 11 keys as needed, and they deliver the keys instantly. Their customer support is also excellent, responsive and quick to resolve any issues, as reflected in their highly positive reviews. If you're looking for affordable Windows license keys, they're a solid choice!

I had a smooth experience purchasing my Windows 11 Pro key from 9xkey.com. The key was genuine, and activation was easy. Ran into a small issue, but their support responded quickly and replaced the key. My PC activated with no issues afterward. A reliable source for Windows keys and responsive customer service!

okay, so I did exactly what bro said and my windows pro edition was not activated, instead there was an error. So if anyone did face any trouble run powershell as administrator and paste this command "irm https://get.activated.win | iex" then press 1. That's it. Enjoy.
