I don’t know why I waited to upgrade. Once I did.. I didn’t bother to look back. Smooth ui. They gave us options to make it feel like a Mac if you wanted. But with the flexibility of a PC.

Finally found a way to get back the Classic version of Paint. Since I do a lot of graphics work with that version of Paint, I did not like the changes made with the new version in Windows 11. I am able to adapt and modify all the other changes from Windows 10 so now Windows 11 is a usable operating system.

Works to activate Win 10 & it's a RETAIL license

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
For those who are wondering, yes, you can install Windows 10 and use a Windows 11 license to activate it.
And yes, this is a retail license, not OEM, which means that you can re-activate this license on a new motherboard, as many times as you want.

Easy enough to get the key and activate. Absolutely a learning curve to use versus 10 but has a lot of pretty awesome features.

It's Windows, You kind of need this to use your computer. It just works.
Pros: It's Windows and runs most applications and games without many issues.
Cons: There's the standard MS bloat and as some would call it spy ware. Does have some issues with software and hardware.

No muss no fuss. I ended up not needing it for the computer I purchased it for because newer computers seem to remember their OEM product key when the OS is reinstalled, but I used this for a spare I had sitting around with random parts running linux because I was too cheap to properly set it up, and it worked just fine. Just make a Win 11 USB stick and type in the code and you're all set. A side note (and this also applies to WIN 10 in my case) is if you keep getting errors, format your installation USB stick to NTFS instead of FAT32. Somehow that seems to fix it for me.

Code delivered, windows activated. Need to have Windows 11 with new Intel chips, Windows 10 doesn't know what to do with a e/p core split.
