You can no longer activate new Windows 11 builds with Windows 7 or 8 keys; maybe last chance to activate using Windows 7 or 8 keys, for 22H2. (www.neowin.net)

Not exactly, can't customize it either or change certain settings. I know this because I just built a new PC and the key I had didn't work for 2 days while I had support figure it out.

Yeah, but nothing that prevents you from using your computer.

Customisation is just aesthetics

Absolutely, it's not the worst. I had a client who had me rebuild their work pc for them and the key they gave me didn't work. They never ended up bothering getting it to work since it was a work pc and didn't really care if they could change the background or theme. This was Win 10, I think 11 has a few more settings locked out but it's not bad really.
