    Three steps. Build PC. Insert USB stick. Ensure you can read the tiny key. Type it once. Windows 11 isn’t really bad at all. Just needs a little configuration when it’s done.

    I got taken for $140 on this item. Even though my computer meets all the requirements to upgrade, it wouldn’t let me upgrade because my processor is not on their approved list. Now since I attempted to install the software, the store I purchased it at won’t allow me to return it even though the customer service person on the phone told me I could. Take that back, I got taken for $150 because I wasted gas going back up to the store to return it. Don’t know if this new operating system works or not but buyer beware.

    I’ve been using this version of Windows for a few months now, and it’s fine. Nothing amazing nor do I hate it. The different desktops is a nice feature.

    Works almost like Windows 10 in my experience. The app layout is something to get used to especially if you're used to the older Windows Home products

    I was skeptical about upgrading to win 11 after hearing about it. I have no issues with it or all its "bloatware"

    Everyone says that it was a bad idea to buy the full windows 11 version, but I think it was a great investment.

    So glad I could find a physical location to buy genuine MS O/S without concern about bogus/pirated software.

    Only thing I can even critique on this is how the task bar looks, even then it’s probably something I can change

    Unreliable Platform

    We had trouble installing Windows 11. Upon asking around many people said they'd had troubles with it, too. My computer was brand new (Gaming level computing) and needed Windows. In order to use my graphics card in the way I needed it to use it. I finally got the program to load so I could use it. Just beware that if it doesn't cooperate initially, it still might work.
