    Fantastic Upgrade

    Windows 11 is a fantastic upgrade that brings a sleek, modern look along with powerful performance and usability improvements. The redesigned interface feels fresh and intuitive, with the centered Start menu and rounded corners giving everything a polished, cohesive feel. Multitasking is a breeze thanks to features like Snap Layouts and virtual desktops, and the improved window management makes productivity seamless. Performance has been smooth and stable across the board, and I appreciate the deep integration with Microsoft services like OneDrive and Teams. Gaming also runs exceptionally well with built-in support for Auto HDR and DirectStorage. Whether for work, creativity, or entertainment, Windows 11 delivers a refined and reliable experience. Highly recommend!

    Easy plug-in-and-download. Does what it need to do and sets Windows 11 Home on your computer. No hassle and customizable setup.

    This works very well. To bad I only needed it for the number inside the box. Especially, since your Geek Squad installed the Windows 11 on my computer that they had for 3 weeks and lost my book I've been writing for over 20 years.

    The devil we know

    Listen, it's frustrating beyond all ends that Microsoft is choosing to not support some completely serviceable hardware with this latest upgrade. This is one reason that I finally got around to my latest computer upgrade. But, if you want to have access to literally millions of programs, drivers, and other assorted code created since the days of DOS, AS WELL AS the defacto gaming OS, Windows is it. The newest coat of paint does take some getting used to. But if you can't let your old habits go, some time with a search engine and a little bit of patience can get you back to the glory days of Windows 7, or is it 10? 98? ME? Anyway, some smart cookie out there has likely come up with a way to emulate your favorite version and you'll get all the latest security updates going forward.

    No headache, easy to install. Building my first pc and the experience I've had so far has been great. It is fast but not sure if it's the best out there but that is what a lot of people recommend. Works great.

    I’m a slightly technically literate mom who tackled a custom PC build for my daughter. I bought this as my operating system and it worked as expected! I ran into one hiccup during installation and the seller’s customer service was quick and very helpful

    It is what it says it is, Windows 11. What that means is up to you. As far as the product Best Buy selss, it is pretty much fool-proof bootable USB for a custom PC. Works great

    Works pretty well Another great windows product I’m still trying to figure out what’s the difference between Windows pro and Windows Home though from what I understand one is for business and one is for Home but what’s the difference internally in the operating systems

    Pros: - Quality packaging and Windows key card - USB functioned as expected - Convenient - ZERO issues with install and stable after until I tried to Enable Asus BIOS Undervolt Protection and put me into a boot loop - this is a pro because I had no issue putting thumb drive back in and booting off of it again to repair some windows files. Cons: - Too expensive

    I haven't built a new computer since 2014 and technology has changed quite a bit. If I hadn't had a friend tell me the Windows comes on a thumb drive now I would have been so confused by the lack of a disk. But it installed from the thumb drive seamlessly and hasn't glitched at all. There was a bit of a learning curve from Win10 to Win11 but not too hard to figure out if you are willing to poke around a bit. The power "button" is in a completely different place, for instance. But it doesn't talke long to get used to the changes.

    It’s a functional operating system. I had no option as 2 specific programs I run do not operate on Linux. Strongly recommend researching how to idle information monitoring/sharing defaults where able, and make good decisions on what permissions you grant to it.
