# Key Type Comparison

#### Windows 11 Retail

{% hint style="success" %}
This key is for any customer. This is the same type of key you would receive if you were buying from Microsoft, BestBuy, Microcenter, etc.
{% endhint %}

#### Windows 11 OEM

{% hint style="info" %}
This key is for system builders only.
{% endhint %}

#### Windows 11 Volume

{% hint style="danger" %}
***We does not sell this type of key and we do not intend on selling it.*** Volume keys are for large businesses that have several computers. Unlike Retail and OEM, one key will activate several different computers. These keys can be deactivated by the businesses or Microsoft at any time. We highly advise avoiding any key selling service that offers volume keys.
