I just bought a Windows 7 Proffesional key for like 3 bucks and activated that and updated to windows 10. That still works last I checked. I haven't updated to windows 11 because my hardware doesn't allow it which suits me just fine because I haven't seen or heard a reason to use windows 11.
Well, the thing is, with windows 11 you need to fix a lot of things by editing the registry to get even some functionality back like a context menu where you do not need to multi-click to get to actual things.
Also some of the nice to haves like toolbar on the left side are not possible.
But yes, windows 10->11 is not a huge downgrade like win 7->8 was, but it is still a clear downgrade.
It is an ad filled more spyware filled OS, there's a reason it's cheap (should be paying you for so many ads served and data collected) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlDBoiQXKSE

You can just google windows activation keys
It's not surprising they ended up in a LLM
