Hey there, I bought a Windows 11 Pro USB with the activation code and I’m not 100% sure if it’s real.

The packaging looks fairly legit and it was sealed in plastic but I’m not sure if the SKU is correct either but I can’t find much info online and I’d like another opinion

The SKU is HAV-00289

    This is Microsoft website dedicated to genuine software. Check this web page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/software-packaged

    Also, there is non-Microsoft utility on Microsoft Store - ShowKeyPlus https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PKVZCPRX9NV?hl=en-us&gl=RS&ocid=pdpshare

    It will show details about your Windows Product Key. Again, it's not Microsoft tool.
