    I can’t use my computer without this so I kinda love this, the price is a bit to much I think but it’s still nice to have.

    Was easy to setup. I used it for my second computer so I had to download to a flash drive and then plug that flash drive into my other PC. Works great.

    I paid 156.99 with lisence. Plus it doesnt even work on my pc, called customer service they didnt answer, wrote in to the best buy chat, my assistant was very poor at doing her job, 0 assistance. And then cant even refund it.

    It's great, Be aware if you are running it under a Hypervisor on a new MacBook M2 or M1; these computers are not x86 but ARM-Based Chips so don't buy this it will not work.

    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.

    Windows 11 e-mail purchase.

    I purchased Windows 11 to be sent by e-mail for 129.99. I received the e-mail, called for assistance and he said he would have to charge me more money if I got technical assistance. I declined and told him that Best Buy sucked. You purchased an item and them have to pay additional for assistance? Give me a break! On top of that, I was charged 139.99! Very disappointed in Best Buy.

    RAM Eater

    It has slightly better UI than windows 10 but at what cost? Well it takes about 8gb of RAM at all times. If you have an 8gb RAM system I’d avoid at all costs. Otherwise, maybe look at what expected workload you need and the UI vs 10. I’m thinking waiting until 12 would be just as good as getting this.

    Easy install it’s great, won’t dock a star but I will warn you the code is only good once so if your system crashes and you need to reload your OS it’ll tell you that code has already been used.
