If I purchase a new key for windows 11 pro can I start getting updates again. My computer has a at the end of service statement. Or do I need to reinstall windows 11 again?

    If you are seeing a notification that your version of WIndows 11 has reached end of support, that usually just indicates your version of WIndows 11 is very old and just needs to be updated, you should not need to purchase a new Windows licence or re-install Windows.
