    Windows 11 won't install after activating the key


    Hello, We have a surface pro 5 which was purchased this year. It is on Windows 10 Business. We have purchased licenses to upgrade it to windows 11 pro. However the upgrade is not working, I've successfully updated the activation key. Rebooted the laptop, but it is still on windows 10 business. I've factory reset the laptop, but no change. It is eligable for windows 11. I've tried the license key on my own windows 10 laptop, but it doesn't install either. Thanks

    :)

  2. Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    GOT A HUGE Problem - Windows 8 Key

    Once you get the key. You should be able to use one of the generic microsoft keys to install 8.1 and then change the key upon completion.

    The keys aren't pirated, just good for install and won;t activate. Google and you should find them.
