Windows 11 Home

Buy Windows 11 Home : What you receive

A genuine Windows 11 Home activation key, emailed once payment clears. Usually five minutes, two hours at the very worst. You download Windows from Microsoft’s servers and enter the key during setup.

The licence stays tied to that computer for good, so reinstalling costs you nothing.

Home or Pro

Home covers what most people actually do with a computer: documents, browsing, video calls, streaming, games, coursework. If that sounds like your machine, the extra ten dollars for Pro buys features you will never open.

Windows 11 Pro earns its price in three situations. You need BitLocker on a laptop that leaves the house carrying client data. You need to reach the machine remotely from another PC. Or you run several computers in an office and want identical settings on all of them. Our article comparing Home and Pro for remote work goes further into it.

Changing your mind later is painless. Buy a Pro key, enter it under Settings, and Windows switches edition without a reinstall and without touching your files.

Check your PC before buying

Windows 11 asks more of the hardware than Windows 10 did. You need a fairly recent processor, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, and TPM 2.0 switched on. Microsoft’s PC Health Check tool settles the question in about a minute.

If the machine fails, do not buy this key. Look at Windows 10 Home instead, and read the support notice on that page before you decide.

Paying without a credit card

This is the part that blocks most of our customers. International platforms want a Visa or Mastercard, and plenty of people across Africa do not have one. Here the payment goes through the mobile wallet you already use, straight from your phone.

We accept MTN MoMo, Orange Money, Airtel Money, Moov Money, Wave, M-Pesa, Telecel Cash, AT Money, Free Money, Vodacom, Tigo and Halotel, depending on where you are. Fourteen countries are covered: Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Gabon, Congo, DR Congo and Sierra Leone. PayPal and card payments work everywhere else.

Pick your country at checkout and you only see the wallets that actually work there. The price appears in your local currency. Our guide to paying for software with mobile money walks through the whole process.
