Hey everyone, I have two Windows 11 Pro setups running on different PCs. The product key for Windows 11 matches on both machines and they’re both active. I’m puzzled about why this works. It seems the activation is tied to the Microsoft account but also linked to the hardware. I’m surprised I can use Windows 11 on both without issues. Can I stay logged in with two different accounts while using separate keys? Also, if I change or activate the key on my main PC, will that affect the second PC?
