    I just finished building my first PC, and when trying to install Windows using a homemade USB installation, I was running into problems with it, so I picked up this USB from Best Buy. The whole process was a breeze from that point on. Thanks to Best Buy's helpful staff, this made the final steps of my first build a breeze!

    If you are building a new PC, there are better options to get a Windows License Key, such as upgrading from Windows 10 instead and its free. Unfortunately, I upgraded from a Windows 7 key to Windows 10 and I did not qualify for a Windows 11 upgrade so I needed to purchase a new key. The USB Flash Drive does work. I tested it with a new windows install. It is a pretty recent Windows 11 installation file, too because I did not need many new updates to be up to speed. It's Windows 11 cd key. Not much to it. Overpriced.

    It does the job, easily installs Windows without complications, and it's on a convenient USB drive.

    I like that it’s Easy to install, has easy instructions, and it hasn’t let us down yet as how can it? Its windows! It’s used consistently over the time we’ve had it, it’s just software so nothing can go too bad.

    Great product, it's easier to buy this way than to do the free version and have to buy a key at a later date plus it's a great value for what you get

    As always with Windows, there were challenges getting the new install to mirror previous laptop settings, but the download and installation went without a hitch.

    The windows 11 installation was pretty easy aside from needing a flash drive to download Internet drivers on to, however I do believe it's a little overpriced.

    It's Windows. It's a familiar operating system. This product includes a license key for Windows 11 inside the packaging, as well as a bootable windows 11 installation USB stick. For reasons I'm not techy enough to understand, one of the partitions in my NVMe SSD card was unhealthy in the first two installs from the bootable USB stick and the OS kept Blue Screen of Death-ing. But the third time all the partitions were healthy and I haven't had a BSOD since.

    Overall the best softer ware system that i have used and this is my first one too, i love how it runs all my programs with an ease and no hassle on installation since i got the usb stick verision,i would recommend this to a friend and more for their pc build. But i have one small issue that i dislike and it keeps reoccurring and its the installation process it would ask me again to reinstall windows after i turn off my pc for the night and turn it back on it will promptly ask to download windows, the solution i found was too keep the windows usb in and restart my pc it will not ask me again.
