What's the advantage over the existing supposedly permanent activation method?

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Microsoft turned that one off completely for new builds of windows so the fact that it works is the main advantage.

Oh. I guess I got lucky then as I used that method last week.

just a different way to do that. the previous being affected by microsoft's back-end changes in their move to (finally) kill-off using win7/8 keys for new win10/11 activations.

I used a windows 7 key to activate windows 11 pro last night 🤷
