| Version | Microsoft support | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 11 | Supported | Compatible 64-bit PCs with TPM 2.0 and a supported processor |
| Windows 10 | Ended October 14, 2025 | Older PCs that can't run Windows 11, and 32-bit systems |
| Windows 8.1 | Ended January 10, 2023 | Legacy hardware or software that needs this exact version |

Microsoft's free PC Health Check app shows whether a PC can run Windows 11. Unsupported versions keep working, but they no longer receive security updates.
Windows Home or Windows Pro?
Home covers everything needed for everyday use. Pro adds tools for protecting and managing a PC:
- BitLocker drive encryption
- Remote Desktop, so the PC can be reached from another device
- Hyper-V for running virtual machines
- Windows Sandbox for testing apps safely
- Group Policy for finer control over settings
A Home key won't activate a Pro installation, but a Pro key can upgrade an existing Home installation. The Windows 11 Pro (64bit OEM) key is the most popular starting point.
OEM Keys Explained
Most keys in this category are OEM licences. An OEM licence stays with the PC it's first activated on, so it can't be moved to another computer later. Each product page lists the key type and how it activates.
Windows FAQ
Should I choose Windows 11 or Windows 10?
Windows 11 for any PC that meets its requirements, since it's the version Microsoft still supports. Windows 10 suits older or 32-bit PCs that can't run Windows 11.
Does a Windows 10 key include Extended Security Updates?
No. A Windows 10 key activates Windows 10, but it doesn't enrol the PC in Microsoft's Extended Security Updates programme.
Is Windows 11 available in 32-bit?
No. Windows 11 is 64-bit only. For a 32-bit system, Windows 10 is the newest option.
Where is a Windows key activated?
Inside Windows, in the activation section of Settings. Activation never takes place on Livecards.net.
Setting up a new PC? Windows and Office combos are listed in the software bundle deals, and the full Microsoft Office range is available at Livecards.net.
