Asked Questions About Windows 10/11 Product Keys and Activation

Microsoft changed the way activation works on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Here are 9 Commonly Asked Questions About Windows 10 and Windows 11 Product Keys and Activation.

1.Can I Use the Same Copy of Windows 10/ 11 on my Other Computers?

Whether you have a product key or digital license for your copy of Windows 10/ 11, you can only install and use it on one

computer at a time. If you want to install Windows 10/11 on other computers, you’ll need to buy a new copy with its own product key for each one.

However, businesses that need to use Windows on multiple computers can buy a commercial “Volume License” that will work on more than one device.

2. Do I need a product Key to Activate Windows 10/11?

If you buy or upgrade to Windows 10 directly from Microsoft, you won’t need a product key. Instead, when you install Windows 10/11, it will come with a Digital License. This is called “digital entitlement”.

 The installation will then automatically create a special significance for your computer and store it on Microsoft’s servers online. This means if you ever need to reinstall Windows 10/11 on that same computer, Microsoft will automatically recognize and approve it.
