    Purchasing Windows OEM keys

    I own a small consulting company where I provide IT support for small businesses. I have a customer that wants me to upgrade about 30 workstations, motherboard, processor, ram and hard drives so that the systems can run Windows 11. I purchased an OEM Windows 11 DVD from Newegg and after upgrading the first workstation, I attempted to install Windows 11 from the DVD. When I entered the Product Key, I got a message that the key was invalid. After trying several different methods, slmgr /ipk installing without the key and adding the key once it was online, I called Microsoft activation support. They informed me the that key was not valid, I am assuming because the systems they look only list retail keys. I contacted Newegg for a refund, another story...

    So I still need to buy licensing for the workstations as I update them. I am fine with buying the retail licensing online however that ties the licensing to my Microsoft account. How can I buy licensing for workstations I will be selling to my customer? If OEM licensing is correct, how do I go about getting Windows to accept the product key and activate? Yes, the product key looks legit, it is a Microsoft sticker with the scratch off to reveal the code.

    Upgrade a Win 10 home OEM to Win 10 Pro OEM with Win 10 Pro OEM Key?

    I recently purchased a laptop that has an OEM version of Win 10 Home on it.

    I verified this by using : slmgr -dli.

    Previously I had purchased an OEM Win 10 Pro Key.

    Can I use this OEM Win 10 Pro Key to upgrade the OEM Win 10 Home to the OEM Win 10 Pro.

    If so what are the steps to accomplish this?

    In addition, I assume that is this is possible, that the current product key will be updated to the new product key?

    The reason I am asking this is that it's my understanding that these product keys are tied to the bios on a name brand laptop.

    TIA
