Windows 11 Pro Retail – Transferable activation key

Windows 11 Pro in its Retail version combines the professional functions of the system with a licence free of any hardware attachment. A Retail key is transferable: unlike an OEM licence tied to the motherboard, it follows you from one computer to another after uninstalling and survives a change of major components. It is the format to choose for a professional workstation intended to last and to evolve.

What the Pro edition brings

• BitLocker and BitLocker To Go — encryption of the system disk and of removable media.
• Inbound Remote Desktop — access to your machine from outside, absent from the Home edition.
• Hyper-V — built-in virtualisation to run other systems in parallel.
• Windows Sandbox — a disposable sandbox to open an unknown executable safely.
• Active Directory domain, Azure AD and group policies — centralised management of the workstation.
• Local Policy Editor and Hyper-V Manager — administration tools reserved for the Pro edition.

Activation

Your Retail product key is sent by email within a maximum of 24 hours. Enter it in Settings > System > Activation > Change product key, then associate the licence with a Microsoft account: it becomes a digital licence that you will be able to reuse on a future computer.

System requirements

Compatible 64-bit dual-core 1 GHz processor, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, UEFI with Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 enabled in the firmware — requirements specific to Windows 11 — DirectX 12 graphics card, 9-inch high-definition display.
