    It is an OS but wants you to buy everything else

    Microsoft turns installation into a series of ads. I wanted an OS not an office suite, or an online office suite, or an AI agent that says it's an online office suite. Maybe Linux is better.

    The little usb flash drive in this box made this the EASIEST installation of an OS I've ever completed on a newly built PC. It was a fast and painless installation - no CDs to fiddle with or boot sequences to configure. I'd recommend this all day long.

    I bought this thinking I would have to do something to it, but it is a a plug in and go no extra deeds to do like I seen on yt. I’m overall happy with the product and recommend getting it as it comes with a product key for windows 11 and it is installed on the flash drive.

    So, another Windows. I bought it for the product key and not the actual USB of Windows. I like DVD based OS myself. Anyway, 11 22h2 isn't bad. You lose some features from 10. Could be better and also in other places could be worse.

    Probably worth noting that its pretty much what you would expect…Windows OS for PC. Not a ton of other user friendly choices out there but i was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to plug and load the OS on my new build.

    It really *is* Windows 11, just like it says on the box. I would say the following about this product: As long as you like Windows 11 you will like this product. Why - you ask? Because it is Windows 11.

    Setup of windows 11 on a new build was simple and fast. This was my first exposure to windows 11 and I find it in many respects based on my needs similar to the previous version. A bit expensive but nothing unexpected from Microsoft. Windows 10 updates and security patches are set to end this year making the purchase of the newer version essential.

    Great for a clean install on a new system. Easy to use. I would only fault Microsoft for being a bit intrusive in their drive to encourage the use of their other products.

    A retail key on a usb drive, it works exactly how it should. Pretty pricy which is why it's only 4 stars, but I mean if you need windows, you need windows.
