Hello, happy new year! I am planning to assemble a new PC in the coming weeks and will use the existing one as a testing environment for software, third-party installations, and virus checks. Previously, I used VMware for this purpose, but I believe I could achieve the same if I have an additional PC. The question is whether purchasing a Windows 11 Pro key from a wholesale site allows me to reformat my PC and reinstall everything from scratch whenever I want. I expect to format the PC multiple times in a month based on my availability. Will it support formatting the drive, installing and activating via USB with the same key several times? The same applies to Office Pro 2021?

LibreOffice is a much better choice than a questionable grey market Office license.
For the Windows version? Once more... steer clear of sketchy licenses.
Keep your unactivated Win 11 until you decide to move your current Win 10 license or buy a proper one.
Testing what, precisely?

As long as the same motherboard is used, yes. Reinstalling is completely fine.
You understand that you don’t need to turn on Windows to get it working, correct? Given everything you’re proposing, what’s the purpose of turning it on?

It might be possible.
There are numerous and diverse reasons for this.

This is true, especially with the "grey market" keys.

The grey market is what I was considering, using g2a or something like that.

The basic idea of a grey market is clearly stated.

What purposes will this system serve?
You don’t require genuine MS Office. The LibreOffice FOSS offers a nearly identical option with no expenses.

I thought I already had a paid office license for my main PC, but the new Windows 11 is intended for testing.
