What was from Best Buy, the laptop used or the Windows 25H2 that was installed?
Huh?
This is a custom workstation with a custom install of 25H2 that has nothing to do with Best Buy.

If you are actually questioning a legit enterprise MAK key
... which is intended for volume licensing of corporate installations, not for individual personal computers (even though it may work. Therein lies the illegality)

This is a Win11 25H2 Pro custom install activated via MAK licensing vs some guy running Win 11 Home on a consumer laptop from Best Buy.
Huh?

This is a fully vetted corporate install with volume licensing.
Nothing illegal here - whatsoever.
Not that I need to explain that to you.

I know. Hard to believe.
Some of us do run our own companies and have access to volume licensing.

One of the most common problems posted in forums like this one frequently relates to users trying to activate new installations, and/or later problems after activation/updating. One of the most common causes is users who have bought cheap keys online from dubious sources, which are corporate volume licensing keys onsold multiple times, and at some stage Microsoft catches up and blocks further use. It's just handy to know the legitimacy of problem installations

Understood - I can see how this ongoing issue could skew the conversation.
