    A bit pricey, but that's on Microsoft.

    This is the standard private use version of Microsoft Windows 11. What you get is a license key which allows you to use the software. It can be tricky to download the software itself if you don't have an ethernet cable or a thumb drive with the program already installed on it.

    Windows 11 has the most unnecessary and obtrusive features compared to 10. The product is fine as an OS but jams ads and "features" down your throat. Rating 3 stars since you can turn them off and have a somewhat well functioning OS.

    It’s windows what do you expect, the only issue I had was getting the actual usb from the store. When I bought it I asked specifically for the usb so I wouldn’t have to make my own bootable drive. Employee said they don’t do that anymore and would email me a product key in an hour. Called multiple times the store, geek squad, and the help line. All of them couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting a product key until one just said go back to the store. So I went back the next day and another very helpful and cool employee figured out that the previous employee registered the purchase as the usb which he didn’t give me so I was waiting for a product key I would never get. The guy made it right and grabbed the usb box and what not for me and sent me on my marry way. Upset it took so much effort and I spent so much time on it when all the employee had to do was ask someone for help rather than guess and create a whole two day mess for me and set my pc build behind. Anyways, not mad just detailed. I love best buy but this was by far the worst experience I’ve had with an employee, usually they’re always on the ball. Not enough to make change my mind about being a customer but will probably frequent a different location now.

    There are many ways to get Windows 11, of which I couldn't explain here because it confuses me still.. but you really cant go wrong with a physical usb with a fresh install/reinstall Windows 11 is cleaner than 10, but it's still somewhat new in terms of OS lifespans, I'm sure it'll get better within a few years The price? Completely obscene. No if/ands/buts about it. Greed.
