Hey everyone, I just upgraded my CPU and motherboard yesterday. Installed a fresh Windows 11 with a new key—G2A.com said everything was okay. The installation worked fine, but today I noticed the watermark again. When I checked activation, it said my Windows isn’t active. Troubleshooting didn’t help. Entering my key shows “I don’t have a valid license or key.” Even after buying another one, nothing changed. The same message keeps appearing: “You don’t have a valid license or key.” The watermark disappeared after a restart, but it could come back anytime. Got any suggestions?

The price was lower because you purchased two grey market keys. I’m hoping you’ll receive your money back for them. I understand these keys are uncertain and might be disabled later, but they should work when bought from these platforms. Is this really worth the effort?

Buy a legitimate key from an approved seller such as NewEgg, Micro Center, Memory Express, Canada Computers, or directly from Microsoft. Grey market keys are unreliable and offer no assurance of activation or continued use. They also lack verified sources, which can lead to potential involvement in fraudulent activities like credit card misuse or money laundering.
