Reply To: Windows 11 Hi all, So in preparation for upgrading my PC, I plan to take the opportunity to move to Windows 11 as will need a re-install of OS etc. Question is,…

Should work with Win7 key if it isn’t used to often in the past.

Otherwise you could try to use MS account for login and save registration, so you should be able to transfer activation on a newer system (I did it once in the past).
Just take your HDD/SSD and move it to the new system, start from it and then there should be a possibility to move activation to changed HW.
Bios settings must be same as on old PC (bios/UEFI, MBR/GPT, secure boot and so on) to be bootable.
After it is activated again revert BIOS changes and make a clean install on new SSD, system will be auto-activated in future on this mobo.
This wont work for different platforms (AMD <> Intel).
