What you get

Is Windows 11 Home enough?

For browsing, streaming, gaming, school and Office at home, yes: Home has the same interface, the same Microsoft Defender security, the same updates and the same gaming performance as Pro. You need Windows 11 Pro instead if you want BitLocker drive encryption, Remote Desktop hosting, Hyper-V virtual machines, Group Policy, or to join a company domain. Both editions cost the same here for one PC; our Windows 11 Home vs Pro guide has the full table. A Home key cannot upgrade a PC to Pro; for that, buy the Pro key.

How activation works

1. Pay, and the key arrives by email.
2. Open Settings > System > Activation > Change product key, enter the 25-character key and click Activate.
3. On a new PC, install Windows 11 Home from Microsoft's free media (see our bootable USB guide) and enter the key during setup or afterwards in Settings.
4. Settings shows "Windows is activated with a digital licence". A later reinstall on the same PC activates automatically.

Problems? The Windows 11 activation guide covers every error code, and live chat is open around the clock.

What kind of key is this?

A genuine Microsoft product key that activates online with Microsoft, tied to the PC it activates on. It is not a subscription, not a 180-day KMS key and not a shared account. Reinstall on the same PC as often as you like. The OEM vs retail keys guide explains key types.
