Product keys and licensing
What you are buying, in plain terms.
-
A product key is what you type in to activate the software. Your right to use the software comes from the Microsoft Software License Terms shown during setup, and those terms govern how it may be used.
-
One key activates Windows 11 Home on one PC. We cannot promise that a key will activate again after a hardware change or a move to a different PC.
-
Home and Pro keys are not interchangeable: a Home key activates Home only.
-
Software Key Source is an independent business. Microsoft does not endorse or sponsor this offer.
What is missing compared with Pro?
Home has no BitLocker management, cannot host Remote Desktop connections, and leaves out Hyper-V, Group Policy and domain join. Day-to-day use is the same.
My PC runs Windows 11 Pro. Can I use a Home key?
No. A Home key activates the Home edition only. It will not activate a PC that runs Pro.
Will it work on my older PC?
Only if the PC meets Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements, including TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. Run PC Health Check before you buy.
Is Office included?
No. Windows 11 is the operating system. Office apps are a separate product.
