Is the Windows 11 Pro x86 key compatible with Windows 11 Pro ARM?

Hi everyone :). 

 

I want to activate a Windows 11 ARM on Parallels in MacOS, and was wondering whether I can use one of the cheap keys I can buy from AllKeyshop. I'm unsure if those keys would work on an ARM device. Any ideas?

Alright. Found my answer:
 

Windows 11 Pro product keys are platform agnostic (x64 vs Arm).

Alright! Bought it for $1.20 and it's now activated 😎

$1.20 seems ridiculously cheap! even for those questionable key websites.

If it's for a VM, I'd say it's worth a shot.

LEeeeeeet's goooooo. 

 

I've finally setup all of my original keybindings 🤗

 

I've been missing Windows for a while. It's nice to be back! Now I'm disabling a bunch of crapware that comes with Windows 11. So far, the performance of parallels is unmatched vs VMBox and VMWare!!!

Definitely works. I did this for my Mac. I have a VMWare setup on it. It works extremely well. It just lacks direct x 12 support in VMWare.
