Versions of Windows 11

Before delving into discerning and differentiating the various versions of Windows 11 licenses (Retail, OEM, Phone Activation, etc.), it's important to clarify that they are all the same product. With any of them, you'll gain access to the virtues of Microsoft's operating system, albeit some may have certain limitations or different activation methods.

Where things do differ is in the price, as among these different versions of the Windows 11 key, the price can vary by up to 80%. Therefore, it's advisable to know which version we can choose according to our needs and budget.

First and foremost, it's crucial to clarify that it's entirely legal to purchase a Windows 11 license online. Many of the vendors we have are official Microsoft retailers, and you can also view different ratings and reviews for each one from the store's page.

To verify the authenticity of your Windows 11 key, go to Settings > Activation and ensure that the activation status reads "Active."

Retail keys are marketed by stores and vendors for general use, capable of being activated on different devices. In contrast, an OEM key is provided by the manufacturer of the PC you purchase and is specifically tied to that device. Therefore, it cannot be used on other PCs.

There are other versions, such as Phone Activation, where activation must be done via phone with a simple message. This is the cheapest version of Windows 11, albeit the most tedious to activate.

Yes, as long as your Windows 10 version is up to date and you meet the system requirements specified on the official Microsoft website.
