I'm setting up a PC for my friend, and I made sure all components work together. I’m familiar with assembling it, but I’m unsure about using Windows 11. I know how to install it, but I don’t have the activation key. Microsoft’s official key is expensive—around 100 euros—which exceeds our budget. I’ve been checking cheaper keys on various sites offering retail or OEM versions for just 10 euros. Should I go with those sources, or are they risky? Also, will the PC run normally with these alternatives, and what’s the difference between OEM and retail products? I’m a bit confused!

The Windows 10 Retail license can be moved to another device, whereas the Windows 10 OEM license remains tied to a single PC. Changing the motherboard won’t make the OEM license function. The Retail version stays unaffected by any hardware modifications.

Purchase a genuine key, but feel comfortable using alternative sources if needed.
