Microsoft has patched a loophole that allowed users to activate Windows 11 and 10 using Windows 7 keys. This loophole was discovered by security researcher Albacore and was first reported by Bleeping Computer in March 2023.
The loophole allowed users to activate Windows 11 and 10 using Windows 7 keys by modifying the registry. This was possible because Windows 11 and 10 use the same activation servers as Windows 7.
Microsoft has since patched the loophole and users will no longer be able to activate Windows 11 and 10 using Windows 7 keys. If you are trying to activate Windows 11 or 10 and you are getting an error message, you will need to purchase a valid Windows 11 or 10 license key.
