You can no longer activate new Windows 11 builds with Windows 7 or 8 keys; maybe last chance to activate using Windows 7 or 8 keys, for 22H2.(www.neowin.net)

They cost like $5 online, it’s not like it’s a huge risk. I’ve bought OEM keys before and they work fine. Just use a credit card so you can easily get a refund if it’s fake.

Those are usually Windows 7 or 8 keys.

Which do indeed work to activate Windows 10 and 11.

But not anymore.
