So you can really buy a legit OEM license on the cheap!

In the article, Kinguin was also mentioned.

We bought a Windows Pro key using Groupon's offer and it worked perfectly; we just entered it during installation and there were no problems. The only drawback to using Groupon is that you have to go through a couple of steps to get your key, After you purchase, you receive a voucher code which you then must email to Microtechkey, the seller that is using Groupon as its marketplace. Someone from the company then emails you the key code. In our case, there was about a 2-hour delay between our emailing and receiving the key.

If Microtechkey's price goes up by the time you read this, check Kinguin, a popular key marketplace we've used a few times. At publicatoin time, Kinguin was selling Windows 11 Home and Windows 11 Pro . You might be able to get them for less with a Kinguin discount code though. These are all OEM keys and likely can't be used on another computer after you activate them on the first one.

If you use Kinguin, we recommend paying a little extra to get a key that has "online activation," which means that it should activate automatically over the Internet. Keys that aren't marked for "online activation" may force you to call Microsoft, t, wait on hold and ask a phone representative for help activating. The representative may even ask for your Microsoft account, which is not great for your privacy. The key we bought from Groupon used online activation; no phone call was required.
