The Windows 11 operating system was leaked onto the Internet, and of course, many users immediately installed it to test and see what was new.
Regarding activation, it seems that users don't need to be too confused, because Windows 11 activation can still use the product key from Windows 7, Windows 8.x, or Windows 10.
Although it has changed its name to Windows 11, it seems that until now there have not been many changes, changes only occur in appearance, the rest is still the same as its predecessor.
So Windows 11 will still use the same activation mechanism as Windows 10. That way, Windows 11 activation can be done with a genuine Windows 7, or 8.x key. Back in 2015, when the initial version of Windows 10 was released, Microsoft said that Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users could upgrade for free. Microsoft actually gave a one year time limit for this offer. But that never happened, and until now users can still get free upgrades.
