Where to buy cheap Windows 11 Pro key?

Thanks.

So when I download the Windows 11 Pro installation file from Microsoft and make a bootable USB and install it, I skip the activation stuff during the install and use the instructions mentioned in the above link to activate once I am on the desktop?

How is masgrave not piracy? Honest question. On it's surface it seems illogical.

It is. People have convinced themselves that since retail windows is "expensive" and Microsoft hasn't tried to shut down piracy aggressively, that it's fine to do rather than pay $100. They seem to conveniently ignore that you can buy windows from Microsoft, because some black market key sellers sell it for $10.

You think it's better to buy a grey key instead? You think it is ok because you pay something? Eventho it significantly less then a real license and was aquire by means that are against the ToS and not meant for resell. I personally don't care what people do but I won't give money to MS when they harvest and sell so much of our data to other companies.

This is the theory on why MS really doesn't care about individuals using the massgrave scripts; you are the product.
MS is making a killing harvesting your data for profit and/or training it's AI on all your interactions, etc...
 
I mean between supporting people buying keys with stolen CCs to sell on these dumb key sites and massgrave, I guess I would probably go with massgrave myself. If "parinoid" you can activate with massgrave and then use the reset to reinstall a fresh clean copy that will retain the massgrave activation status (this is actually what I have done, since M$ decided to stop letting me use my old technet keys =\ )
 
So I got done building my new PC and installing Windows 11 Pro last Tuesday. Used MAS and it worked great. Thanks for the tip.

Quick random question regarding SSDs and Windows 11:

Should you let Windows 11 "optimize" SSDs (which I think runs the TRIM command) regularly or leave it disabled? I have a Samsung 9100 Pro. Does the 9100 Pro "have its own native TRIMing schedule" or does it rely on Windows to do it?

afaik the os has to do it. i just leave it at the default "weekly".
 
The ISO from MS directly will be the consumer ISO, so it will not possess all of the same indexes as the business ISO.... not a major caveat though...

Looks like the one directly from MS is latest build ( 26200.8037 )

LOL, Technet. I had hundreds of keys for MS products from a former job when you could download any number of keys. I used them for years.

Similar, and that is the reason MS stopped it :D. I even kept OEM Win 7 PRO stickets from systems going to the e-cyclers, up until maybe a year ago or when ever MS started stopping Win 7 keys being used for Win 10, I was still giving them out to friends to activate and they would work.

Reality is, Microsoft does not care, at all.. so long as you are using Windows...
