Buy a Windows 11 Pro Retail Key for one compatible PC and receive the activation key by email after payment. Windows 11 Pro is designed for professionals, businesses, developers, remote workers, and advanced home users who need stronger security, virtualization, remote access, and device-management features beyond Windows 11 Home.
This listing provides a digital activation key only. No disc, USB drive, or physical package is shipped. Before ordering, confirm that your computer meets Microsoft’s Windows 11 system requirements, including a compatible 64-bit processor, TPM 2.0, Secure Boot capability, at least 4 GB of RAM, and at least 64 GB of storage.
Why choose Microsoft Windows 11 Pro?
Windows 11 Pro includes the familiar Windows 11 desktop, productivity, gaming, accessibility, and security experience, then adds tools intended for professional and managed environments. It is a strong choice for a work PC, a business laptop, a development machine, or a home computer that needs features unavailable in the Home edition.
Key Windows 11 Pro features
- BitLocker drive encryption: Protect the contents of a compatible drive if a device is lost or stolen.
- Remote Desktop host: Connect remotely to your Windows 11 Pro PC from another supported device.
- Hyper-V: Create and run virtual machines for development, testing, training, or isolated workloads on compatible hardware.
- Windows Sandbox: Open untrusted applications in a temporary, isolated Windows environment.
- Group Policy: Control many Windows and security settings through policies used by administrators and advanced users.
- Microsoft Entra ID and domain support: Join compatible business environments and manage access centrally.
- Windows Update for Business: Gain additional control over how updates are deployed on managed devices.
If you are choosing between editions, read our Windows 11 Home vs Pro comparison. Windows 11 Home is usually sufficient for browsing, entertainment, schoolwork, and ordinary home use. Pro is the better fit when you specifically need BitLocker, Remote Desktop hosting, Hyper-V, Windows Sandbox, Group Policy, or business network features.
Compatibility and installation
The key is intended for Windows 11 Pro on one compatible PC. It can be used for a clean Windows 11 Pro installation or to change an eligible Windows 11 Home installation to Pro. Hardware compatibility is separate from activation, so a valid product key cannot make unsupported hardware meet Microsoft’s requirements.
- Install Windows 11 Pro or open your existing Windows installation.
- Go to Settings > System > Activation.
- Select Change product key.
- Enter the 25-character key delivered by email.
- Follow the onscreen instructions and allow Windows to contact Microsoft’s activation service.
For clean installations, download Windows installation media directly from Microsoft. The product key and the installation files are separate: BTD Soft supplies the activation key, while Microsoft supplies the operating-system download.

Frequently asked questions
Can I upgrade Windows 11 Home to Pro with this key?
Yes, an eligible Windows 11 Home installation can be changed to Pro from Settings > System > Activation. Windows may restart while the additional Pro features are enabled.
Does the key include Microsoft Office?
No. This product includes Windows 11 Pro only. Microsoft Office is sold separately.
Can I activate more than one computer?
One key covers one active compatible PC. Purchase one key for each computer that requires its own Windows 11 Pro license.
What if Windows does not activate?
First confirm that Windows 11 Pro, not Home or another edition, is installed and that the key was entered correctly. Then check your internet connection and run the Windows Activation Troubleshooter. Our Windows activation error guide covers the most common messages. If the supplied key is faulty, contact BTD Soft with the error shown on screen so we can troubleshoot it under our replacement and refund policy.
Check hardware compatibility before buying. A product key activates the correct Windows edition but does not bypass Microsoft’s processor, TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, memory, or storage requirements.
