I recently bought a second-hand computer that already has windows 11 pro activated. I would like to know if this activation is genuine or if it was done using a cracked or unauthorized key, and what type of license it is.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Licensing and activation

    No one can tell if your license key is cracked or unauthorized.

    The most that anyone can tell you is whether your version of Windows is licensed for individual use (vs. use by an organization.)

    P.S. The first thing to do when you receive a previously used computer is a clean install, where you erase the hard drive and reinstall all the software. That's the only way to be certain that your computer is free of malware, configuration errors, and setup correctly.

    Hi,

    In the search bar, type 'Command Prompt' and run it as administrator.

    Then, copy and paste the command below and press Enter. A pop-up will appear; please share a screenshot of that window.

    slmgr.vbs /dlv
