Windows 10: Will I lose the OEM KEY?

My laptop is Lenovo IdeaPad 3. Preactivated with Windows 11 home + Office lifetime validity. But I need additional features like Hyper V and Bitlocker among others. I'm Thinking of buying Windows 11 pro key from 3rd party websites for cheaper price 5$-10$I have 2 questions. 1How would I know the key bought is genuine and comes with lifetime validity. 2 Will I lose my original windows 11 home OEM KEY if the OS gets compromised in future? Is the pro key overwritten over OEM KEY?

Question On OEM Windows clean install......

"Flavors" of Windows licenses

Windows can be a little "odd" about license keys. There are at least 4 categories:

• Retail
• OEM
• Volume (electronic download)
• Corporate (no key needed)

For guaranteed success, the license key and media should be in the same category. If you have retail media, you may not be able to install it using an OEM or Volume license key, even though the key is valid for that version of Windows. *Wtf :wtf: Apparently, this is part of Microsoft's anti-piracy scheme (i.e., all customers are guilty until proven innocent).
