I'm glad you're seeking legal and proper ways to set up your PC. To clarify: Using Windows 11 without a product key: Microsoft allows you to install and run Windows 11 without activation indefinitely, but with some limitations. These include:

  • A persistent "Activate Windows" watermark on the desktop.
  • Limited personalization options (e.g., changing wallpapers, themes).
  • Occasional prompts to activate.
  • Reduced access to certain features and updates.

 

This setup is legal and intended for testing or initial setup purposes. You can download Windows 11 from the official Microsoft website and install it without a product key. Just be aware that some features will be restricted until you activate it with a valid license.

About the Windows 11 pro working kms code. If you're finding a Windows 11 pro working kms code, I recommend purchasing a valid license key from Microsoft or an authorized retailer. This ensures you're complying with licensing agreements and receiving proper support and updates.
