    Hello,

    The best way to purchase Windows 11 Pro for your clients would be through the Microsoft Store or through a Microsoft authorized reseller.

    Regarding the difference between Windows GGWA, Windows 11 Pro legalization, and Windows 11 Pro upgrade:

    • Windows GGWA (Genuine Microsoft Windows Agreement) is a program that allows organizations to legalize their existing Windows installations that are not genuine. This program is no longer available for Windows 11 Pro.
    • Windows 11 Pro legalization is a process of obtaining a genuine Windows 11 Pro license for a device that was previously running an unlicensed Windows. This process involves purchasing a Windows 11 Pro license and activating it on the device.
    • Windows 11 Pro upgrade is a process of upgrading a device that is currently running a qualifying version of Windows (such as Windows 10 Pro) to Windows 11 Pro. This process involves purchasing a Windows 11 Pro upgrade license and activating it on the device.

    Best Regards,

    Hania Lian
