At this point, Microsoft should just officially have a free tier of Windows for home users w/ less official features, similar to the non activated state of modern Windows now.
There is no such thing as " free" If you boot any PC into windows AND it's connected online...YOU are the product. Microshit WILL , has, and always will mine your data and sell it without your permission AND without giving you one red cent of those sales. And microshit has already decreased useful or official features little by little throughout the past 10 years easily.

I suspect the only reason Microsoft has the "you must have an activated copy of Windows to use the software" in their policy is so they can crack down on businesses who decide to run unactivated. Home users Microsoft won't care at all about, but at least if they have it in their policy then they're covered if they ever see Windows being used unactivated in a way they don't like. Personally I run my VMs unactivated as I just don't need a licence for virtual machines and after years of doing it I've never had an issue. I run activated on my physical machines just not virtual.
I am about to build and would like to save $ and still customize my wallpaper and such, how did you work around the activation? where to find activation keys for cheap? thnx!
I haven't noticed which all features are not available without activating it. Thanks bro for the video. But a great thing is Microsoft have given us a feature of activating it using the key of windows 10.
I don't know what happened but. I was just using my Activated windows 11 and randomly a message pops up saying that my windows 11 isn't activated, I'm so confused. My windows 11 have been activated for over a year now it just randomly not activated anymore. And the activation page in the settings it says "We can't activate Windows on this device as we can't connect to your organization's activation server. Make sure you're connected to your organization's network and try again. If you continue having problems with activation, contact your organization's support person. Error code: 0x8007007B" I clicked Troubleshoot and it didn't work.
@@Westcoastmickey The problem was I was using a KMS activator and some only last for 6 months. I recommend MAS activator instead as it can be activated permanently, or just get a legit key from Microsoft

Hi Brian. Can you use a windows 7 key to activate windows 11 like you can with windows 10? Or can you upgrade in place from an activated copy of Windows 10 without having to buy a new windows 11 key? Just wondering.
Thanks for the information. I would like to ask you this question. How can one test a Ram for Laptop RAM if it is working, other than inserting it into the slot and booting. (I mean say using a meter of Multimeter )
Basically Windows 11 is Just a Reskin or Redesigned Version of Windows 10. Not so Big. For me it's sounds safe to keep Windows 10 Forever Even i am on Windows xp
Oh Yeah Windows 10 Users are safe to use Windows 10 after 2025 because Upgrading to Windows 11 is Not so Big and Not So Different from Windows 10. For me it's kinda Windows 11 Is Just Good For it's New Design. But Sounds are Horrible as hell because The Classic sounds uses the Stupid Windows Vista sounds I Prefer Windows xp Sounds rather than that Shitty Vista Sounds
I have a question if I’m on windows 11 home inactivated and want to buy an activation key for windows pro will it jump me to windows pro or will it only be for windows home for the activation key to work?
You left out one key thing from the video. You can't change your sound device before activation, and my installation defaulted to my motherboards integrated sound which had no device plugged in...
A question Britec, if you update to Win 11 via Windows Update, and your Windows 10 was an activated OS, will that activation carry over to the Win 11 update ?
Yes mate, even if you do a fresh install you can use your Win10 key to activate. I was even able to get mine activated just by putting in my email address and password with the fresh install as when it asks for the key when doing fresh install I clicked "I don't have a product key", then when win was installed and it asks for your Microsoft account details it automatically activated it.
My strange experience: I downloaded the windows 11 iso from microsoft, to try it out in a VM, using the regedit option to install on unsupported hardware. (BypassTPMCheck and BypassSecureBootCheck.) After installing in a VM, I got the greyed-out personalization features as expected. For the heck of it, I downloaded the old AutoKMS program for early windows 10, to see if it would activate windows 11. After getting Defender to allow it, it actually worked, to my surprise. This was just for testing in a VM that I didn't save. I don't recommend bootlegging windows 11. I eventually decided I needed to try windows 11 on bare metal. I installed it on 4 different machines with various unsupported hardware from intel and AMD, as old as 12 years old. One was EFI. The others were MBR. I installed 11 Home on the old EFI laptop, and 11 Pro on the others. All of them had no problem running windows 11, and no problem finding drivers in the iso for all the supposedly archaic hardware. All of them have no issues with Windows Update. The oddest thing was that on bare metal, using the official ISO from Microsoft installed Windows 11 already activated, even though I did not put in a product key. These machines had no prior windows 10 activation on them, either. The EFI laptop with 11 Home was the only one I used a Microsoft Account on during setup. The others use a local account. There is a windows 10 Pro license connected to my microsoft account as a result of being involved in windows insider development of windows 10 many years ago, but I don't see how that could have anything to do with these being already activated. Very strange. Can't complain.
Russell, mentioned interesting points, but PLEASE...lol...PLEASE...split that small mountain of text up into one or two paragraphs to make it easier for others to read. ;)
Please can you explain. If I have activated Windows 10 on may laptop and will go to Windows 11, it will be automatically activated or I need to find somewhere and save windows 10 key and activate by it W11?

I bought Parallels to run Windows games, only to realize that I also need to buy Windows for $200 more. Does unactivated Windows have anything to do with certain Steam games immediately crashing on startup?
I will not do the upgrade to win11 until the version gets stable and also for having the TPM issue so can't have it anyway. They ask you to build a new PC so to be able to use their OS 11. It was a stupid thing to force you to buy new machine or pre-used core I5 8 version processor so to be able to benefit the OS11 thing. I stick to my OS 10 and just when have the market reasonable in GPU with other components price. I will do the upgrade. Thanks for the whole about OS 11 non activated version notification.
@@flicka25 To be honest as I have been using all MS OS from start. I never ever upgrade or start using a new OS until It gets stable as you are the first or one of the first who claim It is all about the PC anyone own. Ubuntu OS never had any issue with any PC. Just to make It out out clear. MS OS in every new or upgrade of any of their OS. You face a lot of issues even on new builds and that is a true thing. They should use and do a lot of testing on different machines and laptops before send the OS out to cut the errors and issues that drop in consumer face.
Does Windows 11 Pro have built in DVD support like WMC from Windows 7? Also they have not fixed the Ryzen performance issues, my 3600 still hangs from time to time.
The Ryzen performance issue should be fixed now, you will need to download a chipset driver update from AMD, just search it up and do it. Also, make sure you have all the Windows 11 updates installed.
If I have win 10 already activated and I'll pass to win 11, does it mean that it won't be activated? I do love putting my own drawings as my background of my desk and on the opening screen.
I don't have to worry about this bs because I ditched winblows 17 months ago and switched to Linux Mint Cinnamon. Sincerely, no bs, no insult meant. It is THE Most gentle transition from windows to the Linux world I Have personally seen in my 10+ years of using it and other distros and desktop environments.
I think ms just wants to know what your doin more so than ever before. I would up date to 11 from 10. But after JUST after building new Pc with up dated parts and they say NO, NOT YOU. Well ms can kma
*Fianlly got windows 11 from ikeyzone* I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is. For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho
In hp14s fq1030au laptop recently I have purchased with Windows 10 but I have decided to wait 9-10 months or even more is it fine to wait for until stable update of wimdows 11??

VMs. It's not practical to license every VM when they're often for temporary use. They also can't be moved from machine to machine if they're activated (though with Windows 11 you also have to disable Secure Boot and TPM to be able to move them around).
Let me ask a simple question...wtf would you CHOOSE to be a digital slave to a hypocritical..privacy disrespecting and incompetent company in this day and age of OTHER and BETTER options for your computing needs? Linux.....Mint....Cinnamon.. Enough said.
My query Brian is if those licences you say you can get for a cheap price from CDkey sales why would you put up with that crap for a few dollars?? doesn't make sense to me😒
I had tried 11,did a clean install.Had windows 10 with a genuine product key. When installing windows 11it ask for my Microsoft account just like 10 and since I had a legal 10 registered to my account I had no problems.Why I put windows 10 back in?The US government was looking @ my PC on Windows 11. I don't have them snooping on Windows 10.I use a software called"PeerBlock"that shows me who is looking @ my PC. My processor is not compatible so I extracted Windows 11 to a folder.Then went into"Sources" folder and hit setup. It bypasses the processor check but I had to do a clean Install.
With every version, Linux is getting simpler & simpler to use. And Linux is much more resistant to virus/hackers. And it runs very well on very old hardware. Any straw could be the last one now ! One wrong move and there will be an EXODUS from windows to UBUNTU LINUX etc. And soon thereafter, realising how reliable & simple Linux is, people will switch to Linux at work too. Goodbye Enterprise Licenses too, duh.
but you have to be a moms basement dweller to use linux with its weird command lines. a single wrong command can delete your WHOLE hard drive in a second.
@@esecallum No, you just don't have to be a retard. It's more easy than ever, and one might never need to run command lines at all. Switching from macOS to Linux was easy.
Even if you disable the update, they fuckin' download updates which will not give a chance to shutdown without installing updates. If only I can afford mac, I burried Microsoft long time ago already.
Right click on "This PC" icon and click on properties. Right click on the desktop, Personalization, themes and on the right side "desktop icon settings".

Anyway I use kms activator from 2012 nothing happens till now ( personal use). There no problem with browsing and online payments.
Fastest way to get infected.
So pretty much its just the same limits of windows 10 copy and pasted
This is the reason why I downgraded again to windows 10
I bought a win10 pro but when upgrading toWin11 ist has now a new product key.
No, its a free upgrade and it will activate
I don’t have to worry about this cause my Laptop doesn’t pass the Win 11 hardware requirements.
I don't have to worry about this bs because I ditched winblows 17 months ago and switched to Linux Mint Cinnamon.
Sincerely, no bs, no insult meant. It is THE Most gentle transition from windows to the Linux world I Have personally seen in my 10+ years of using it and other distros and desktop environments.
So its $139 to personalize my background and lock screen?
I think ms just wants to know what your doin more so than ever before. I would up date to 11 from 10. But after JUST after building new Pc with up dated parts and they say NO, NOT YOU. Well ms can kma
I just plain do not want 11.
My wi fi is slow specially on my new gaming pc I built could it be because my windows is not activated?
*Fianlly got windows 11 from ikeyzone*
I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is.
For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho
So u pay 200£ for personalization???
And the narrator says that is "cheap".
@@MrTynanDraper hehehehe
@@MrTynanDraper You didn't understand what he said. You can buy a key from 13$, but not from microsoft website
In hp14s fq1030au laptop recently I have purchased with Windows 10 but I have decided to wait 9-10 months or even more is it fine to wait for until stable update of wimdows 11??
Good VDO! You should Activate Windows Because you can use full function and without watermark 👍👍👍
Does it have snitchware?
Does anyone know where I can get a key?
my aunt gave a broken Lenovo IdeaPad and I installed Windows 11 on it I haven't activated it because I'm kinda lazy tearing down the unit to get the product 🗝️ inside it 🤣🤣🤣
What about brightness slider
... It's truly amazing how long people have put up with Mr. Softy's nonsense, when Linux Mint and Zorin are waiting for them with open arms.
Windows 11 is ok though I wouldn't mind going back to Windows XP.
My first computer was a 486 ran on DOS 6.0 and dial up was still a thing.
🙂 neat, mines was a 286
Activate once, but not on my guest OS VMs
Next video idea: "How to sandbox Windows 11 on Windows 10" :)
can i use my windows 10 pro key on windows 11 pro?
Yes.
do you have any free key for win 11 ?
Check the city dump for old laptops with windows 7 keys stickers still on them.
If your system crashes or you lose your data you will know why.
Five minutes to say "Personalization is greyed out."
Windows is like Winzip now, awesome.
wdym it was always like this?
Let me ask a simple question...why would people not activate or even have non activated versions of Windows?
cost
VMs. It's not practical to license every VM when they're often for temporary use. They also can't be moved from machine to machine if they're activated (though with Windows 11 you also have to disable Secure Boot and TPM to be able to move them around).
I agree, its cheap as chips to activate.
Let me ask a simple question...wtf would you CHOOSE to be a digital slave to a hypocritical..privacy disrespecting and incompetent company in this day and age of OTHER and BETTER options for your computing needs?
Linux.....Mint....Cinnamon..
Enough said.
@@Britec09 $30 is cheap. . . almost $200 is not cheap! I won't pay that much just to be able to put on a pretty wallpaper.
My query Brian is if those licences you say you can get for a cheap price from CDkey sales why would you put up with that crap for a few dollars?? doesn't make sense to me😒
Your question doesn't make sense to me. Could you reword it?
I had tried 11,did a clean install.Had windows 10 with a genuine product key.
When installing windows 11it ask for my Microsoft account just like 10 and since I had a legal 10 registered to my account I had no problems.Why I put windows 10 back in?The US government was looking @ my PC on Windows 11.
I don't have them snooping on Windows 10.I use a software called"PeerBlock"that shows me who is looking @ my PC.
My processor is not compatible so I extracted Windows 11 to a folder.Then went into"Sources" folder and hit setup.
It bypasses the processor check but I had to do a clean Install.
With every version, Linux is getting simpler & simpler to use. And Linux is much more resistant to virus/hackers. And it runs very well on very old hardware.
Any straw could be the last one now ! One wrong move and there will be an EXODUS from windows to UBUNTU LINUX etc.
And soon thereafter, realising how reliable & simple Linux is, people will switch to Linux at work too. Goodbye Enterprise Licenses too, duh.
but you have to be a moms basement dweller to use linux with its weird command lines. a single wrong command can delete your WHOLE hard drive in a second.
@@esecallum No, you just don't have to be a retard. It's more easy than ever, and one might never need to run command lines at all. Switching from macOS to Linux was easy.
Worst Windows so far is W11. Absolutely shit.
I would not go that far
W10 was very bad , but W11 took the lead. Now W10 is on 2nd position.
@@TontosVotanPaSocialistas You must have never seen Win 8, or Vista, or Windows Me, or ...
Just buy a cheap Windows 7 key and you have Windows 11 as well.
I cant activate because of my region
Their are temporary 25 charter Windows license codes , so that you can use the OS (authorized method )
Thanks
How to activate for free in easy mode
I think Microsoft has a little bit too much money, I think I might use it without activation
how did it work out? did you give in and "obtain" a key?
Even if you disable the update, they fuckin' download updates which will not give a chance to shutdown without installing updates. If only I can afford mac, I burried Microsoft long time ago already.
Dang so we paying money to customize 😂
computer explodes
Unfortunately I going to get inactivated windows 11
Licence keys are pretty cheap. $12
TLDW: same as in Win10
How to fine my key
Right click on "This PC" icon and click on properties. Right click on the desktop, Personalization, themes and on the right side "desktop icon settings".
😂 can you still play games like online if your windows isn't activated
pro tip 2X speed + captions
219.99? That’s how much they’re paying people to use this trashpile?
Who are " they" and who are they paying to use Windows 11?
I activated my windows 11 with Retail Key 😎
You chose to give microshit even MORE money when you've already BEEN the product as a digital slave. Yeah..that's nothing to be proud of nor brag about by the way. xD
Hi. Can I use an already used windows 10 product key on windows 11?
Try it :) it might activate in some cases. I tried some. Some of them worked some of them didn't :| :)
I don't care about Windows personalization! Big deal!
So you use it un activated?
@@Britec09 Yes. And work flawless.
Me too. I won't pay $185 CAD to be able to change a few colors or the wallpaper.
well i sure do love Error code 0xc004f074😤
Helpful video, so now you pay hundreds of dollars for a computer, that is not Activated. Unless you want to spend hundreds more. Sounds like a Cell Phone.
spend $150 just so u can get wallpaper 🤮 get wallpaper engine for $5 🤑
That watermark, it could cause burn-in for oleds..
format c :/
and install Linux Mint Cinnamon ;)
Does anybody play fortnite
