Home or Pro?

Home covers what home users need. If you want full drive encryption with BitLocker, incoming Remote Desktop connections, Hyper-V virtual machines or a company domain, choose Windows 11 Pro. To move a Home PC to Pro later, see the Home to Pro upgrade key.

Retail and OEM options

An OEM key binds to the first PC it activates and activates again when Windows is reinstalled on that PC.
A Retail key is good for a single activation. It cannot activate again after a clean install.

Both options cover one PC with no end date, and the key also activates Windows 10 Home.

Delivery

The key is delivered digitally to the order in your account. Each option shows its delivery type: automatic delivery lands as soon as payment is confirmed, and prepared delivery usually takes 5 to 60 minutes. Use the key within 12 hours of delivery.

See every edition in the Windows 11 category, and look at Microsoft 365 for the Office apps.

Click Activate and wait for "Windows is activated".
If online activation fails with an error such as 0xC004C008, press Win + R, type slui 4 and follow the phone activation steps on screen.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between Windows 11 Home and Pro?

Microsoft requires an internet connection and a Microsoft account during the first setup of Windows 11 Home. You can add a local account after setup.

What is the difference between Retail and OEM?

An OEM key binds to the first PC it activates and activates again after a reinstall on that PC. A Retail key is good for one activation and cannot be reused after a clean install.
