How do I buy Windows 11 with a business account?

Hi,

I have a MSFT 365 Business Premium subscription, which is tied to a work account. I am the admin for the organization.

I need to buy a Windows 11 license key, but I can't figure out how to do that with the work account. Some things I've tried:

• Open the Microsoft Store app and buy a license -- this doesn't work because I can't sign into the Store with my work account
  
• Buy a license online from Buy and Download Windows 11 Pro | Microsoft -- this doesn't work because I can't login with my work account and I can't create a new Microsoft account with that email address
  
• Buy it from this MSFT site: Windows 11 Pro for business | Microsoft -- this doesn't work because I don't need a new device, just the Windows 11 license key
  

Can anyone provide guidance how I can buy a Windows 11 license key with my work account?

Thanks

Taylor
