I had a similar experience. I ordered it and it never arrived. It wasn't doffing getting a refund but it was a bit confusing that it said shipped and delivered but it never arrived.
as a clarification- I'm running Chrome Remote Desktop with no issues on Win11 Home.
windows 11 home can run microsoft remote desktop on the pc to allow others to control you, but you cannot use ms remote desktop to control another pc.
Microsoft Remote Desktop - Client only
There are a lot of drivers which haven't been updated to work right with Windows 11.
Plus, Windows 11 adds a lot of features which were not well-developed at Microsoft and can cause all sorts of difficult-to-diagnose problems.
If you do install it, at the very least, create a Restore Point before doing so, and preferably (to be safer), image your entire drive - that would be a safer option to going back to what you had before installing Windows 11.
You may encounter really difficult to diagnose problems. Lots of people are reporting random, unexpected black screens where your screen is black, but your computer appears to be on.
For some, this may be a issue with the "sleep" function. What problems you encounter may depend on what chip (make and generation) you have.
Lots of people are reporting these problems. Diagnosing takes many, many hours, and some never figure out what the problem is - it may be issues with multiple things interacting problematically.

Also, this is less than $3 on most software resell sites but SD does not get a commission from those sites

I guess the bigger debate is whether this is worth $20
Anyway, not sure it's analogous here because China is not where legit Windows keys come from. I'd hope Amazon's understanding of English and Microsoft is sufficient to know where they are sourcing them from. Given Microsoft's stature and how litigious they are (I had listings for Microsoft products removed online and don't think I could sell any on Amazon), I seriously doubt Amazon is selling Microsoft stuff that isn't legit but I'd love to hear the basis for why people believe that since I am interested in a key that is properly sourced.
Just hard for me to figure out how Woot could be selling software that's not legitimate while Amazon itself was heavily policed in terms of selling software and I had listings removed that were legitimate but I wasn't an authorized reseller or what ever.
From my research Pro allows editing of group policy which stops unwanted automatic updates but I don't have Pro yet to confirm
You mentioned some people had issues. Are those issues actually related to the product keys?

I can't say for certain where the issues people are having stem from. Feel free to read this thread for yourself. Also, keep in mind that just because a key appears to work doesn't mean that it's legitimate and will continue to work.
