    Is it possible to somehow return the OEM license key for Windows 11 Pro if it was activated...


    Hey, Guys!Can somebody help me with my question?After my laptop was taken to the service center 4 or 5 times, the service center declared it unrepairable. But I separately bought the Windows 11 Pro OEM license and it was activated on it. How can I get my license back if I didn't even use it normally since the laptop spent most of its time in the service center?There must be some solution. Who should I contact? I have a special pack with a CD and all the needed info and codes.FYI: some details on why my laptop was several times at service - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/

    Activate Retail windows 11 pro key on a PC with an OEM license

    Hey there,

    I just recently bought a windows 11 pro retail license key, I intend to use it on my OEM activated windows 11 pro PC, but I don't know how to remove the OEM license first.

    Is there anyway to do this, I don't intend to use the OEM license on another PC.

    I upgrade my PC very often and an OEM license is not very convenient, I now realize how much I regret buying a preactivated PC.

    Hello, how are you?

    There are no differences between an OEM license and a Retail license.

    Not being able to use the retail license on other computers if you want to change it.

    Windows installation is also Windows 11 Pro version?

    If so, simply follow the procedure below to enter your new license key.

    1. Press Windows+R, type slui 3 and click Ok;

    2. Enter your new key in the box that opens and click Next to proceed with activation.
