    I can't give a rating because apparently I need a thumb druve or the disc itself to install windows eleven home into my computer. Since my computer can only operate on safe mode with networking. So because of that, all i have is a product key and no way to return it since it was tpyed in my email from best buy

    It was never installed. After I started to check why, I got a message on my old h/p laptop that Windows11 was not compatible. So I figure if it did not load in the h/p it would load in another laptop, but when I tried got a message it was already installed

    Beware, do not buy this product unless you have already tried installing the software. My PC meets all the published requirements to allow install but the the installer won't proceed due to non-published requirements and Best Buy WILL NOT REFUND regardless of the circumstances or published requirements.

    I got stuck with this because I bought through best buy and all had to do is downloaded it from Microsoft for FREE. Waste of money for sure.

    You better be real sure you want a digital item before you buy it. If you realize immediately that you bought the wrong thing and request a return, Best Buy won’t let you. Even if you haven’t redeemed the item.

    The down side of digital orders is you can't get a refund or exchange from Bestbuy. Talked to a Bestbuy assistant and told me this information.

    Overpriced but otherwise works.

    It's a license for windows 11 home. It works but in no way should this cost what windows sells it for. 147 dollars after taxes is insane. With that said, you get to keep the license going forward which is nice so new builds attached to your microsoft account will be licensed (you won't need a new one). Not having a license is technically piracy and the cheap ones found elsewhere aren't "official" but this should cost like 50 bucks.

    In reading reviews I will be one of those curmudgeons. Microsoft really wants capture personal data. Don't like that! Frankly don't like needing Microsoft account. Hindsight-buy 10; get Linux; go apple. Friends have 10 day taskbar ad start menu easier to use. Need use one drive to auto save. BOO. have another cloud. Cortana-why waste space and cannot uninstall.
