    Windows 11 has security requirements that don’t meet semi-old hardware. Built a gaming rig and everyone should look into this when purchasing or building a pc. Forced to run windows 10 until October-2025. Will have to build a whole new pc then. Might not. Windows can fix this issue with an update and should.

    $150 for windows, when you can buy the key off a key website for around $20, although that key is most likely stolen and pirated. Still, very expensive.

    Finally building my first PC, now that my Windows 11 has arrived, and with it comes Microsoft’s vision for the future of personal computing. This is a softer, more rounded Windows, one that puts the Start menu front and center while doing away with some of the cruft that cluttered up Windows 10. If you're using a system that meets the requirements for both and want the latest features and design, Windows 11 might be a good choice.

    Be warned, this product is unable to be returned once opened despire only being opened for verification purposes. I purchased this product by mistake and when I got it the box was damaged and despite this despite several attempts i was unable to return this product. Best Buy claims it is softwarw however since there is a physical drive in it with software included i believe it counts as hardware. One of the only few times Best Buy has failed.
