    Windows 8.1 pro + WMC key activation

    This worked for me last time with a Win 8 key.

    Install Windows 8.1 and enter KMS key during setup. Once in windows change product key to my Windows 8 key. Go to add features and enter my WMC add-on key. Drink a beer to a job well done.

  3. Windows 11 Pro activation key

    Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

    Have you tried logging in with the account linked to the digital license on your device? I've provided a few steps you can try including some more you can follow:

    1. Link your Microsoft account: Ensure that your Microsoft account is linked to the digital license on your device. Go to Settings > Accounts > Your info and check if your Microsoft account is listed there. If not, click "Sign in with a Microsoft account instead" to link your account.
    2. Run the Activation Troubleshooter: Go to Settings > System > Activation, and click the "Troubleshoot" button. This will launch the Activation Troubleshooter, which can help reactivate Windows after a hardware change if your Microsoft account is linked correctly.
    3. Enter your existing product key: If the Troubleshooter doesn't resolve the issue, try entering your existing Windows 11 Pro product key. Go to Settings > System > Activation, and click "Change product key." Enter the key you used previously to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro.
    If you are still having issues after trying these steps, please let me know. I'll be happy to help.

    Can I move from Windows 11 Education to Home or Pro

    Hi, I am Van. I'll be glad to assist you today.

    I apologize, unfortunately, downgrading Windows from Education to Home requires a full reinstallation of the Home edition.

    On the other hand, if you need to upgrade from Windows 11 Education to the Pro edition. Kindly follow the steps below.

    1. Disconnect the internet connection of your PC.

    2. Press Windows key + I, then go to System > Activation.

    3. In the right pane click the "Change" button beside the Change product key option, then use the generic key below to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro.

    Once you upgraded to Windows 11 Pro, connect your internet to the PC then use your valid Windows 10/11 Pro product key to activate the system.

    Best regards,

    Van
