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.

When you install this depending on your motherboard it may be a bit of a chore depending on what motherboard you have.
Some things may already be turned on, some things may need to be turned on AMD calls it ftpm 2.0 but Intel it just says TPM 2.0.
secure boot needs to be turned on but can only be turned on if Legacy drivers are turned off for older motherboards and you can't do that until you go to reformat.

As an upgrade from Windows 10, it's fine. Aside from some cosmetic differences, I don't think most users would really notice much of a difference in usability. Stability and performance are about the same thus far, which is to say, rock solid, and I have no complaints there.
My biggest complaint is that it feels like MS is taking away some power user options for absolutely no reason, or hiding them within sub-menus for no reason (something simple like scanning a file requires an extra mouse click now). Granted, most people who use Windows probably won't notice some of these changes, but more options are always better, not less. Hopefully MS listens to the feedback they've been getting on this topic.

It does exactly what it needs to do. I used the key for building my PC and worked perfectly fine. Just a little pricey for a license is my only complaint.

Bought this for my newest PC Build and the installation process was easy as taking candy from a baby! >:D Honestly, as soon as I figured out why my PC couldn't connect to wifi, the install was smooth. Runs well, with a beautiful look to it!

I was rocking the free version of windows until I was able to save up and purchase the actual license. Money well spent as not only was it easy to install but added greater ease to my every day life.

Super easy and old school. Plug and play windows 11 installation. The guys helping me in the store were even aware that windows made theses anymore. So worth it.
