$160 for OEM Win 11 Pro, or $120 for OEM Win 11 Home. Just be careful because swapping hardware could break the license, and you'd need to call M$ to get it fixed.

Or just install w/o a license key and deal with the watermark (I assume it's the same as w/ Win 10). That's what I did since I primarily use Linux and only use Windows to test random stuff.

Win 11 Pro for 2.50€ on ebay.

I only use Windows in a VM, and never activated it, ever, but my point is that M$ officially thinks that their "advertisement delivery platform strapped to a program loader" is worth 259.00€.
