Best for: people who specifically need the N edition of Windows Pro, usually because a PC was supplied with it in Europe.
Check that you actually want N.
N editions exist to satisfy a European Commission ruling: they ship without Windows Media Player and related media technologies. Everything else matches standard Pro. If your current installation is not an N edition, this key will not activate it — use our Pro Retail phone key instead. You can check under Settings → System → About, where the edition is listed as “Windows 11 Pro N” or similar.
Missing media features can be added back.
Microsoft publishes a free Media Feature Pack for N editions, which restores Media Player and the codecs that some apps expect.
Activation follows the usual phone route: enter the key, let the online attempt fail, choose the phone option, then exchange the Installation ID for a Confirmation ID on our Get CID page.
