- If this is the first time you install Windows 11 on your PC and it never had a running activated Windows 11 operating system on it, then Microsoft doesn’t activate your new Windows 11. So, in this case, although you didn’t need a Windows 11 product key to install it, the operating system is not activated.

- Personalization options from the Settings app are unavailable for as long as Windows 11 is not activated.
- You get some small but unobtrusive notifications inside the Settings app, telling you that your Windows 11 is not activated, and recommendations to purchase a Windows 11 product key.
