My windows have key by bios, Office I activate with serial I believe I recognize by the mac of the machine whenever I install, so I need to keep the KMS Connection Broker?

KMS Connection Broker is locked by OOBE and general compatibility -- but isn't required for non-Volume Licensed systems.

When you write "mac", do you mean MAC address (like in hardware ID?) or Office MAK license activation?

Yes, MAC address.

I also have office 2021, which I only activate with serial and the same for I turned on Windows 11 Pro, although I am using the Home version that has the key in Bios. In case, after you have already activated and formatted, would any of these options use KMS?
 
If you previously activated this PC with a W11 Pro digital license, MS should remember it and re-activate after install.

To ignore the BIOS product key for Home, enter the generic W11 Pro key in NTLite's Unattended:
VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

When you don't provide the generic key, Setup will detect the BIOS license and try to install Home instead of Pro. Also your Post-Setup commands won't work unless you check "OEM SetupComplete" from Unattended's menu bar.

Para ignorar a chave do produto do BIOS para Home, insira a chave W11 Pro genérica em Unattended, do NTLite:
VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

Quando você não fornecer a chave genérica, a Instalação detectará a licença do BIOS e tentará instalar o Home em vez do Pro. Além disso, seus comandos Post-Setup não funcionarão a menos que você marque "OEM SetupComplete" na barra de menus do Unattended.

NTLIte is compatible if I put an EI file.cfg [EditionID]

Retail in sources?


Last question, do you have any advantage in using the pro version for better performance and games compared to pro?
 
Advantage from Pro vs Home is control of GPO.
If it give any advantages in gaming - i don't know as i'm not a gamer.

No difference in performance, just a few more features like GPO and also some registry keys that work only in Pro/Enterprise, otherwise it's the same.

I don't know about ei.cfg, but in ntlite Unattended tab there is an option in the top menu "Prompt edition selection", i use it here and it works great.

Acho que vc é BR né mano? kkk
 
If already know what version to install it's more easy to tick off not needed version(s) via Remove nonessential versions in Apply tab.

The microsoft account is mandatory for activating Windows by hardware, I mean the one that activates automatically when you go online, what blocks this activation? the KMS I already know that it is not. My preset is based on GAMEROS, and what I do is install it with a generic key in autounetend, at the end of the installation I restart and connect to the internet, but I can only activate it without removing the microsoft account.
 
No MS Account is required for activation, if you enter a valid product key, or have an OEM license (BIOS). Windows does need to connect to MS activation servers at least once after install. The exception is email/phone support where they give you a separate command to enter offline.

You can replace any preset's generic install key with a legitimate one.

With digital licenses, if you activate a system without a MS Account, then Microsoft's servers remember your PC's hardware ID. The next time you reinstall Windows on the identical PC, it recognizes the system from before. If you change HW components, the ID will be different and you will have to re-activate.

If you activate a system while signed in to MSA, it links this license to your account. When you sign in, it will activate using the linked license.

KMS has nothing to do with retail versions of Windows.
 
It must be a GAMEROS configuration, because when I put my key that activates online, at the end of the installation it shows an error message and not complete. If I put the generic it completes and then activates mine online. I don't know if it's because mine is Windows pro and it's from another region.

you must be the first person who has encountered that issue, because i don't believe anyone else has reported it.....

what is the error, and what changes have you made to the preset ? ( otherwords...... post the preset , remove key and log in details ) and list of changes made ( tweaks added / reg keys used etc etc )
 
You're copying the same generic install key into where your permanent key goes. Do you not own a license?

I do have it, and it activates automatically when I go online after installation, but when I use it in the two designated places in the autounnented of the preset, the installation shows an error at the end and does not finish the windows installation. But in the rest everything works fine, only the webcam does not, I already added several related components and it didn't solve it, but that's not important for me at the moment.
 
Try Settings/ System/ Automatic Activation = Disabled and see if help you.
