Windows 11 activation
Hi I've already posted a question once about activating my Windows 11 using my Windows 10 key. However I don't have an actual key because I was gifted a Windows 10 through beta testing. One Microsoft member talked with me about the key and if I can use it on a different device. I provided a screenshot of the license type/version but he didn't reply after that. Please just tell me if I can or cannot use my gifted Windows 10 key on Windows 11.

I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.
I suggest you to refer this page to Activate Windows: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/act....
I refer you find Windows 10 key using Command prompt from old device:
Type cmd in the Windows 10 search bar.
Right-click on Command Prompt, select Run as administrator, and select Yes if Windows asks you to allow access.
Type or copy and paste the following command into the Command Prompt:
wmic path softwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey
Press Enter.
Your 25-character Windows 10 product key should now be displayed (in 5-character sets).
This is a public user-to-user support forum. I'm a user like you helping other users. I do not work for Microsoft and cannot access any user accounts.
I hope this can help you. If this still can't solve your problem, just let me know and I'll do my best to try to help you.
Regards,
Dhanam,
