    I would gladly buy again, yes you can buy cheaper codes but screw that we’re not poor, we like being able to customize windows colors and other features, would buy immediately If I didn’t have one, and you can reuse the code if you take it off your computer and put it on a new one

    Was nearly impossible to sign in on my desktop to download, but was able to get in in my phone no problem. I used a gift card to buy this item and the whole thing including installation was very easy and seamless. So far I like windows 11 pro.

    The Worst OS ever made! Shame on Microsoft!

    The worst OS ever. The most stressful the most broken, the most corrupted, the most insanely surprisingly pathetic pile of bits and numbers that were put together I am assuming broken and decidedly sent out to the public regardless. I have never had more problems with an operating system ever and I’m 47 years old. I’ve been around since the Internet started and since then I’ve had every single version of windows in the last two decades when I was a DJ and a computer was a big chunk of being able to make a living as all my music was in it. I only had Windows crash twice in 20 years twice! Since I have had Windows 11 Pro, my computer has crashed more than 40 times in the ads they say it is the greatest gaming operating system of all time which is an enormous lie, considering it conflicts with easy anti-cheat giving a blue screen of death funny how the world’s greatest operating system can’t play the world’s best game. to make matters worse I am a Fortnite creator a new job that I take extremely seriously as I spend 10 to 15 hours a day creating maps making live streams, editing videos and on top of that I go to school full-time for digital editing and creating digital artwork, I had to drop out last semester because I was unable to get my computer to function. You know why because windows update destroyed my operating system from the inside out it erased all of my homework some days I’d spend 15 hours just trying to reinstall the operating system because no one at windows are at Microsoft had informed me that it was an impossibility. Usually when I asked for help, their first response would be something like this” oh well, you must not have a compatible system. Your computer must not be compatible.” not only is that untrue, but is it extremely dismissive and rude considering that at the time last year when I got my computer I had one of the most powerful processors at the time for a desktop computer, the amd ryzen 9 7950x with a 4070 TI super. Every single component that I used to build my computer I’m meticulously studied and learned how to use before I decided to put it together and a lot of the components I picked were picked specifically because of what windows and Microsoft said would be necessary in order to use Windows 11 Pro. Well now as I sit here writing this angrily, I am listening to the sound of a dead computer Windows 11 Pro has destroyed the drivers in my GPU at times almost melted my GPU driving the temperature up to 98°C.! before the update my GPU temperatures never went above 40°C. My processor never went above 45°C because I took the time to study and learn how to tweak my UEFI bios so it not to damage my components, but do you know who did not study?the people at Microsoft? That’s who. They belligerently put out a substandard product with Lil. Disregard for the people that will be using it people that need these computers and this technology that they crammed on our throats and advertising and everywhere we look and tell us how badly we need it only to have it not work and be dismissive and rude when we ask for help provide little to no help and tell us we are SOL. DO NOT BUY THIS OS!

    Better than ever

    Windows has come a long way over the years and now it is better than ever. Windows 11 has options and features that surpass expectations and delivers what other operating systems cannot. So many applications run on Windows 11 and run well. Other operating systems often can't even run the applications that Windows does. With the changes in the core CPUs with all the complexity of scheduling cores for optimum efficiency, Windows comes through, managing the usage of the threads and cores in a way that no other operating systems can match. Gamers will find that the Windows experience is all that it can be. You don't have to check some esoteric list somewhere to find out whether your game will run or not. Windows handles it. Use other operating systems if you have the time and expertise to figure out how do do something, but if you want something working without the fussing, fuming and frustration, use Windows 11.

    It worked perfectly for what I needed! I run virtual machines on my MacBook Pro using Parallels, and I was able to activate the windows license without issue! Super clean os, comes with a lot of additional features that are useful for professionals.

    When you have everything ready, installed and fully operational, and the very last item needed is a Windows 11 COA Key, then this is definitely the quickest way! when you don't want any compromises with your computer system and have everything functional and secured. then the Digital Download is a life saver., if you have the patience of waiting and then getting it by delivery (Physical Copy) then great ... or pick it up at the store (physical copy) even better. but, not really recommended for the average person, unless you understand and are ok with not receiving a physical copy or anything, everything is "Digital" and you will have to write down the COA Somewhere for later use if any needed. good luck!

    It'll like Window 11 home but with added features such as better encryption and a built-in virtual machine it's just easier to test things on 11 pro because the added security - if you only game or browse the internet 11 home will be just fine
