    Easy enough to get the key and activate. Absolutely a learning curve to use versus 10 but has a lot of pretty awesome features.

    It’s exactly what you’re paying for. The code showed up within a half hour of purchase. I will always think that windows keys are overpriced, but I needed one for a new PC build.

    No muss no fuss. I ended up not needing it for the computer I purchased it for because newer computers seem to remember their OEM product key when the OS is reinstalled, but I used this for a spare I had sitting around with random parts running linux because I was too cheap to properly set it up, and it worked just fine. Just make a Win 11 USB stick and type in the code and you're all set. A side note (and this also applies to WIN 10 in my case) is if you keep getting errors, format your installation USB stick to NTFS instead of FAT32. Somehow that seems to fix it for me.
