The keys are working all the time now, however if u get to the key page, and refresh you get a different key sometimes, there seems to be like 6 keys,

ALSO, I've checked and the keys are all the same doesnt matter what live account you use.

There seems to be 10 different keys in total.

Check with other people the first 5 digits i bet they match ?

CONFIRMED- ALL FIXED EVERY REFRESH GETS A KEY!

Keys seem to repeat but some are different occasionally.

I thought you were full of crap, but it's true. I get new keys every 3-4 refreshes.

I am not refreshing anymore, because I want the 2.5 million keys to go to others who will use them as well.

Sorrowuk: None of my first 5 digits match on any of the keys I've obtained.

Ok, i see that the "Beta download page" is still not working.... but it seems that its now possible to get keys pretty easy... and they work, confirmed by me, just activated. Microsoft screwed up here... all those who use this forum now know how to get them... soon M$ will run out of keys to give... So it would be good if those that got their keys to stop getting more or others wont have any left ;)

If you refresh enough times u will get a 32 bit key starting - 6JKV2

and a 64 bit key starting - 482XP

Therefore everyone gets the same keys, and there is only 10 of them round about

Odd I got one key for x64 that started with 482XP, and x64 6JKV2

Maybe there is only 10 key for everyone :p

I think you may be onto something w/ the ten keys per person.

Let me just take the time that this proves the pirates point as USUAL. If we go the legitimate way, we can't get any keys or beta. For all we know the keys will be nearly gone by time they FINALLY get around to doing what they said they were gonna do 24 hours ago.

Instead going the *alternative* way, we get lots of keys and we get them now.

What a joke.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
