Windows 10: How to trade/resale a Windows 11 Home License Key

Hello, I bought a Windows 11 Home License key from Best Buy It comes in a box with USB, hoping to update Windows on my laptop. It happens that Windows 11 is not compatible with my laptop, so I am not able to use the License key, and, unfortunately, it is not eligible for a refund from Best Buy because I opened the package. Is there a way to trade/resale my Windows 11 Home license key? Many thanks for your help!

:)

I have a question about MS Licensing.

(Individual buyers)Does purchasing and reselling a "genuine license key (RETAIL product) violate Microsoft licensing regulations?"

The court ruling is legitimate.
