I have Windows 11 in a KVM virtual machine.
It is Windows 11 Enterprise so I will probably reinstall Windows 11 Pro.
I do not expect to use it all that often.
Any recommendations on activation?
Does frame.work provide Windows 11 Pro : OEM product-keys for sale to good customers?

Hi, would Framework | Framework Marketplace | Software suit your needs?

I myself run a win 7 VM from time to time, old hw requires it.

That is the retail price, not the OEM price which you would pay if you purchased say, a Fremework13 with Windows11 preinstalled. The OEM license is non-transferable.

pre-installed is different from the DIY edition? Because in the configurator the prices are the same. And a quick substraction suggests that the prebuilt version has a similar cost of the OS.
At this point I’d recommend contacting support directly.
