    I have purchased windows xp, 7, 8 and 10. This is by far better than 8 and feels like booting up xp just faster! I am very happy with how it runs so far!

    Bought online, picked up in store, up and running in less than 30 minutes. Great for fresh install on a new or old computer. Highly recommend!

    The first USB that was supplied with Windows 10 OS was defective and kept producing failures during the initial install, claiming that a critical file(s) were not written to the Sata drive. But the error codes did not identify the USB as defective... after additional analysis took the package back to Best Buy and it was replaced without question. Install ran fine with new USB and OS is working fine. Thanks again Best Buy for good customer service!

    My HDD crashed - I debated (not for long!) between consulting the computer manufacturer for help and just using a new clean install. The cost difference made it worth it to buy the install thumb drive from Best Buy. I found out the original Windows Key is stored on the motherboard, so the install pulled that key, meaning i have a fixed computer AND an unused no install key for another computer (planning on building my next one myself) Thanks to Geek Squad and sales staff for their assistance in my little project!

    It works as intended. The staff were helpful when I asked if I could use it on more than one build. It only works on one computer(online search says it the code sticks with the motherboard once used and can't be transferred). Easy to use. My usb ports was probably lose, it doesnt work with front usb ports. Worked once I plugged into the mothboard usb (and entered f2 upon startup to enter the bios screen and tell it to use that drive to find windows).

    Windows 10-Home is a welcome update to my previous operating system. I am apparently behind on today's technology as it pertains to operating system updates. When I opened the box I was surprised to see, not a disc, but a USB for product installation. The Installation was simple, smoothe, and fully operational within 30-35 minutes. Would highly recommend this product.
