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.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU! 👍👌😊 Did the whole thing and it brought up blue download and it installed then rebooted... I quickly checked the version and it was on Enterprise!? 🤔 Then I went back to your instructions and did the last part with a key! Looked again and it was Win 11 Pro Activated 👏 You really were a Blessing today!
