GMKtec K11 device - Windows 11 Pro is ‘Activated with a digital licence’. I can find a ‘Default key’ but I believe it is the digital licence that is needed if ever I need to reinstall Windows.
ShowKeyPlus shows ‘OEM key not present in firmware’.
I first set the device up with a local account. It was set up with no internet access so I didn’t go through registering the device with Microsoft. The digital licence must have been activated by the OEM (GMKtec) prior to purchase by me.
Q1 - I create backups using Macrium Reflect v8.1 but do I need to get my device’s Win 11 Pro licence linked to my Microsoft account as well?
Q2 - If so, then how does one do this?
Q3 - Or can I carry on as-is as long as I make regular backups?
