Bad news for those planning to activate Windows 11 with a Windows 7 or 8/8.1 key: users noticed that the latest Windows 11 preview builds no longer allow activation with old license keys.

  Well it was nice as in it was permanent, it got attached to your account and you could simply reinstall and so on without having to setup anything.
