okay this is crazy you've got to like go on the website now to get hold of someone just wait
hello
the last time we called up microsoft support center we found out if you have a single end
user license for windows 10 and it's activated then it's going to stay activated indefinitely
however in today's video we're going to be calling up the microsoft support center yet again but
this time we're going to ask a couple of different questions the first question i want to ask them is
is windows 11 the copy that we're using is that legitimate the one that's getting leaked around
the web and then the second question i'm going to ask them is if it's indeed true
that you can activate windows 11 off a windows 7 or 8.1 or a windows 10 key but
before we do get onto that phone call today's video is sponsored by a channel sponsor here
scd keys and they're bringing cheap windows 10 key pro licenses for as little as 13 for one
or if you want to buy two of these licenses at the same time you can get them for around 11 and
a half dollars each after you use that coupon code bftyc and also if you want to get office 2019 then
they've also got that available i'll put the links in the description below for you guys make sure
you use that coupon code bftyc but let's get on to the phone call and find out what the real deal is
thank you for calling microsoft you're speaking to harshita could you please help me with your
microsoft email address using phonetics oh hello there hi sir yeah um my email address is bro

sir could you please go to your windows activation page yes

windows 11 is not yet launcher it should be windows 10 please have a check
uh oh okay but it says activated with a digital license windows is activated with a digital
licensed that that's what it's saying on the screen i just wanted to know like is
this windows 11 is this like it looks legit you know like it looks like the real thing
and i was just wondering is you know my friend
is he i think he's a good friend yeah like is my friend a good friend
i have no idea sir i can't judge your friend okay okay but if if my windows if my window so
that windows product key i gave you is that's working yeah like if that says active if that
says activated is that activated uh-huh okay because i just want to make sure that's all
sure sir there is no windows 7 yet windows 11 yet sir okay and windows
10 edition version we have not reached a windows 11 yet okay
but i mean if will windows 7 will that key like i got this key will that work for my windows 10
right now your windows is activated sir so yes i don't think so you would require for the
activation all right thank thank you that's all i wanted to know that's all i just wanted to be
yeah i just wanted to hear it from microsoft you know
uh just to be sure that's all so uh thank you for your time you're very kind
thank you for choosing microsoft have a wonderful day okay thank you very much
so that we have it straight from the kohl center themselves that was really interesting because
she the lady on the phone kept saying yet so windows 11 hasn't been released
yet and i got that quite a few times so i think windows 11 is definitely coming
possibly tomorrow this 24th announcement date that microsoft's going to announce i think this is
windows 11 i think these people at the call center behind the scenes know that's coming uh so i think
she kind of let the cat out of the bag by saying yet so windows 11 isn't released yet though the
second thing i wanted to do was confirm my product key which this time around they decided to ask
for the product key and then they told me exactly what that was for and it was a windows 7 key now i
use std keys they're a channel sponsor and so what scd keys will do they'll give out single end user
licenses when i check these they're all retail licenses and even though on their website it says
oem they give out single and retail licenses for either windows 7 windows 8.1 or windows 10.
and so all these product keys whether it's a 7 and 8.1 or a windows 10 key will actually work fine on
windows 10 to activate it and since we've got this developer copy and it says windows 11 activated
there i'm pretty sure that all these previous three generations of os once windows 11's released
will activate windows 11 as well so coming out of this phone call they just wouldn't admit directly
that windows 11 exists of course for obvious reasons since microsoft's already taking it
down if they find the leaked iso any chance they get but if you manage to get a copy of this i've
said it in the previous few videos that we've done it works extremely well and it's actually i
feel like it's got less crap baked into it so i do recommend making the switch if you can i'm making
the switch here at tech yes city because i feel like it just works better than windows 10 i mean
mainly probably because it's actually a developer copy as opposed to it being a retail launch but on
that note the most interesting thing coming out of this video was how microsoft's call center support
has changed a whole lot since the last time i called them and i didn't call them that long ago
where the last time i just got a number off google contacted the number went through
clicked what my problem was and i got a hold of a call representative this time around however
i had to i initially called the number that google gave me and that was directly to microsoft but
then when i selected i had a problem it like literally just palmed me off would not let me
have an option to call someone and send me to a website but then i eventually found another link
where i got a virtual like agent and i said i had problems and then it gave me the option eventually
to call someone at microsoft or have them call me and so that's what happened this time around
i finally got a hold of a call agent and we got the word for you guys and i guess that is at the
moment windows 11 isn't official yet and of course if you've got a windows 7 or 8.1 or a 10 pro key
then that will work to activate windows 10 which is what the channel sponsor we use here scd keys
they use the single end retail licenses and they get them at very good prices so that's why i've
been recommending scd keys here on techya city for a long time because i know the keys work they work
well i haven't had one of them ever deactivated and there are these ones that go on ebay but the
ebay keys are actually the volume license keys or the mac keys these keys are not meant for gamers
like you or i who just set up a pc at home and we use it those keys are strictly meant for business
to business where say they've got to deploy a hundred pcs at a office and they just get one
key and that services all the hundred pcs and it's easier for them to maintain their records
and these are never meant to get out to the single end user so do be very weary of the ebay keys
because you're not meant to use them for starters but on a second note they can also get deactivated
in the future if of course that agreement for those keys runs out with microsoft and with all
that out of the way if you enjoyed today's video be sure to hit that like button for us also let
us know what your thoughts are on windows 11 and if you've got any questions or comments about the
stuff that we talked about in today's video and drop a comment below and i'll try and get back
to you as soon as i can and without aside we got the question of the day here which comes from fat
hentai man can we get an update on this video been running the tech yes os for a couple of months now
no problem so far how do we keep it updated and they're referring to our custom windows 10 install
that we did here on the channel where we cut out a lot of the bloatware and made it from the get go
you could install windows 10 but i think with windows 11 on the horizon we're just going to
wait and then we'll do a custom one of that once we can remove all the crap from that windows 11
iso so stay tuned for that once i've got confirmation that you can actually distribute
it microsoft won't take it down and whatnot then we'll distribute that one for you and if you're a
gamer then you'll just be in absolute heaven and another thing is too we're just i'm i'm enjoying
the windows 11 content mainly because it does take us away from the gpu problem with gaming pcs right
now gpu prices and the whole crypto crap it's actually a breath of fresh air for me personally
even though crypto is dropping right now we do need it to drop a bit more before the miners will
think about selling off their cards that's when the big crux will come in for gpu prices because
the supplies already stabilizing now supplier these graphics cards are coming back into stock
but as long as the miners still have 300 days to get their whole investment back with crypto mining
on one gravis card for instance then they're still going to buy up those graphics cards if the prices
do come down between the prices now and the msrp prices so what we need is that one big one more
massive drop then you can see some sweet cheap gpus and hopefully that comes really soon anyway
guys if you stayed this far and you're enjoying that tech yes content then be sure to hit that
sub button ring that bell and i'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
you
