Bind Win 11 home from new laptop to Microsoft Account,

I just bought a new laptop that came with Win 11 Home preinstalled.

Can i bind the key that is shown on the sticker under the laptop to my microsoft account?

I will also be buying microsoft office in box from the local computer store. Can i too bind the key?

I'm asking because from experience with my mother's laptop that had to be sent for repairs / hardware upgrades, it seems she had to buy a new windows and microsoft office as her key from the initial preinstalled windows cannot be used. this caused us several problems. We didnt know the existance of binding the keys back then to a microsoft account, thus loosing the option to reuse the keys.

And lately pop-ups are appearing stating we might be a victim of counterfited windows and microsoft office

Please advice on the clear and proper steps to do the key bindings.

Loophole Lets You Freely Upgrade to Windows 10 After Offer Expiry

If you upgrade your 7 install to 10, which is worth it IMHO, make sure you link to a Microsoft Account. Otherwise you might not be able to easily regain the key if they block using 7 keys in the future.

You don't need to use the Microsoft account as your profile on so you can still bypass logging in at setup and creating a local account. All you gotta do to link your 10 account to your MS install (if you choose not to use your MS account as your profile), is to simply do the following:

• Click Start
• Click Settings
• Click Update and Security
• Click Activation
• As or with Admin permissions, click Add Account
• Login with MS Account credentials.

Then you should see a message that reads:
