If your PC came running Windows and has an OEM key, you probably won’t need to use it - OEM keys are tied to your hardware, and Windows will detect them automatically when it is installed. If you purchased a retail key, you can use it in the future to reinstall Windows. Retail licenses can be used on multiple devices (though not simultaneously), so someone may attempt to steal your product key to activate Windows. Once you have the key you can write it down or save it to a file on your computer. If you installed a version of Windows 11 you purchased yourself, the green box is the key currently in use. If you’re using an OEM copy of Windows 11, both the green and blue boxes display your product key. ShowKeyPlus displays the currently installed key and the OEM key.
