Is there a reason to go to win11 now? i downgraded last year, because the ui changes frustrated me
I'm sure that there will be much hate for this, but...
If you are being forced by Microsoft to learn a new interface, then why not learn a new OS?

Linux is a viable option for non gamers. It's great on older hardware and is a good way to give older hardware new life. Gave an older pc with Linux mint to a 68 year old family member, and they use it routinely.

I use Linux for everything but gaming. (Dual boot with windows 10) The learning curve is not that steep. You're being forced by MS to learn something different anyway, so now it is as good as any to try.

All windows 7,8,10 keys can be used in fresh install of or upgrade to Windows 11 (to corresponding versions)

Hardware requirements boil down to 2 things I think: tpm 2.0 which is embedded in newer motherboard and CPU being newer than core i 8th gen for Intel, not sure about AMD

Windows 11 interface and performance are amazing y'all should do a fresh install if your machine supports
Not anymore, they closed the free upgrade for 7 & 8 keys

Even if you have older hardware, it's easy to install win11 if you want to, just google. I have it installed on a couple of gen6 core intel PCs and updates and everything work perfectly fine, except for any TPU-related security features if you're missing that.
MS has been killing updates for unsupported hardware in A/B tests

No hate from me. It's easy to learn and use if you are just browsing internet/emailing.
However if anything goes wrong, troubleshooting takes at least 3x as long. You have to use the terminal and type/paste unix command lines to fix issues.

It's supposed to be possible to install normal uefi firmware on some chromebooks and run windows if you really want to, but some chromebooks might have driver issues. This table apparently shows compatibility: https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows.html

You don't need a windows key to download/install windows, just to activate it, so you could try the process and see if you get it working before buying a key.

I'm not sure I would recommend doing this though. Most chromebooks don't really have enough ram/disk space/cpu power to run windows well. Even if you bought a higher end chromebook a few years ago, laptops specs have come a long way in the past couple years so you might be better off just getting rid of the chromebook and buying a new laptop.

Quote from MagicHobo View quoted comment :
"Genuine Microsoft OEM license key"
Microsoft explicitly states in their T&Cs that genuine keys are not distributed via retail channels (Woot) without a box/packaging.
In other words, the fact that Woot is emailing you a code means it's not genuine. Sure, it may work, but it's the same as those $3 codes you get on eBay. Gray market and/or enterprises licenses being distributed outside Microsoft's T&Cs.

Can't believe this thing is FP.

Per Microsoft's own site/language, they only sell/distribute retail licenses as a USB stick, with retail boxed packaging and a COA.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/h.../Shop.aspx
With the exception of Product Key Cards (PKC's) distributed with COA's, Microsoft does not distribute products keys as standalone products. If you see a listing on an auction site, online classified ad, or other online page advertising product keys for sale, it's a good indication that the keys are likely stolen or counterfeit. If you were to purchase and use a stolen or counterfeit product key to activate Windows installed on your PC, the key may not work for activation, may already be in use on another PC, or it might be blocked from use later by Microsoft when the key is reported stolen. The best way to get everything you expect up front is to buy genuine Microsoft software preinstalled on a new PC or genuine Microsoft software from an authorized reseller. ​

You can customize to the point where it's not much different.

Can I use it to upgrade my outdated win7 home addition?
From Home to Pro? Yes.

If you want to go from Windows 7 to Windows 10 or 11, you can do it now for free. Just install it and use your Windows 7 key to activate after installation. It will work for the base versions.

Thank God someone finally said it. Put the upgradability based on hw requirements conversation to bed now. Totally possible and simple, just know that support on unsupported hw will be non existent outside of the www.
