Windows 11 activation
plz tell me if this is not the right place to post this. So I am on windows 11 pro and it is asking me activate windows rn, I tried to find a product activation key somewhere but I cant find one that works. I have found an alternative thats called KMSPico, Im not sure what it is but its supposed to help get rid of this annoying banner on the bottom right of my screen, my question is, if I activate windows through KMSPico will it still send me and allow me to update windows if there is an update or no? any help is appreciated.
Microsoft Support uses this script to activate Windows: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts

Oh dear, KMSPico is a total no-go! It's basically pirate software that messes with your system to make it seem like you've got a legit Windows copy. But here's the deal—not only can it land you in a hot pot legally, but it can also mess with your system in ways you'd really rather not deal with. You don't want to invite malware to the party, you know?
Best bet? Save yourself the headache and get a legit product key from Microsoft or an authorized retailer. That way, you get all the benefits—updates, security, peace of mind—all without crossing any sketchy lines. Trust me, your future self will thank you! Get legit, stay legit. #NinaKnowsBest
Take whatever key you already have (win7, 8, 10) on another computer and put it in. Or even, let it tell you it needs a key and never bother giving it. There's not many feature locked out. Or if you really wish to hack, use another operating system, there's way more fun to have where no one asks for keys 😇
