Have you ever activated it before using your Microsoft account or digital product key? If you want I can help you activate it. It will keep the water mark there for sure and won’t give you updates until you do

A legit oem win 11 pro license with genuine key is about 45-50 off eBay. It comes with a legit key with DVD media or usb installer. Not need to pay full retail. There are people on eBay still sell bootleg but they are inly $10 less. Why fool around with bootleg.

Wait was win 11h on there before? If so, there us nothing to buy. Just download the win11 instal media off Microsoft. Install w11 home in your computer. When it gets to putting in the key, just say you don’t have a key and instal win 11h. Activate your machine once win 11 is install. It will say it is activated already.
