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 Pro 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 Pro key activates Pro only.
-
Software Key Source is an independent business. Microsoft does not endorse or sponsor this offer.
Do I need Pro or Home?
Choose Pro if you need BitLocker drive encryption, want to connect to this PC with Remote Desktop, run virtual machines, or join a work domain. For everyday work, browsing and entertainment, Home is enough.
Can I upgrade from Windows 11 Home with this key?
Yes. Open Settings, System, Activation, choose Change product key and enter the Pro key. Windows switches the edition and keeps your files and apps.
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.
