Apparently the laptop I'm selling is either corrupted or never had a windows key to start with.

to my understanding, yes. i've had my mobo replaced on my laptop and it kept my copy of windows. on the website they say MAS comes with "$OEM$ Folders For Preactivation"

Hmm
If you are determined to be r-slurred you can buy an actual key from g2a or kinguin.

It's an older laptop and doesn't run 11.
If the guy im selling too wants to install 11 it should just pick up the key I added.

I've bought from /u/s5ean (now goes by /u/JosherRouncen) like half a dozen times over many years, I had one key go bad and he replaced in 15 minutes when I messaged him on reddit. One time they had a bad seller on the original /r/microsoftsoftwareswap a few years back and he replaced all the bad keys as well.
