Do I need to buy windows when they build my PC?

Croff

I bought windows pro a couple months ago and still have the key. I updated my bios firmware and my PC got f'd, had to get it fixed and some how it un registered my windows so I bought a new key for windows 11 pro.

I am trying to get in touch with people at my local microcenter, I even sent an email and text asking for a sales person to reach out to me (Curious about fans and this windows question) but its been a week an no reply yet. Im trying to buy 2 PC's (the same) both like $3300 and cant get in touch with anyone or find a phone number.

Hi! If you select a Tier 2 build and up the operating system is installed for you! If you already have the key you will not need to purchase a new one. They will build it without Windows activated and you can just use the key you already have when you bring it home :)
