You can no longer activate new Windows 11 builds with Windows 7 or 8 keys; maybe last chance to activate using Windows 7 or 8 keys, for 22H2.

Bad news for those planning to activate Windows 11 with a Windows 7 or 8/8.1 key: users noticed that the latest Windows 11 preview builds no longer allow activation with old license keys.

I finally ran out windows 7 keys and had to buy a new one for win11, they cost 4-9$ online.
Yeah, volume keys are what I've been using the past ten years or so. Only one office key got blacklisted so far. Overall a pretty good deal.
Where?
Go to Amazon UK, bunch of really cheap ones there. You'll get the key via email instantly. Ideally, install a fresh windows 10 and immediately upgrade to 11, then the key will be upgraded and remains valid even if the original one gets disabled.
KeysOff has been very reliable for me in the past (I'm not affiliated with them, just a happy customer) but I'm pretty sure there are multiple VLK resellers out there for Windows keys at this point.
r/MicrosoftSoftwareSwap sells them but mine stopped working and the dude who sold it to me didn't answer. So don't go there.
i randomly picked a shady website i found by searching "windows 11 pro license key purchase"
I've been able to get them off ebay before for windows 10 keys. Got a pro key for 6 dollars I believe.
