I upgraded from Windows 10 Pro and the difference is clear. The system runs smoother, boots faster, and the new design feels modern without being overcomplicated. Setup was quick, and all my apps transferred seamlessly. Great performance so far—definitely worth it if you want a stable, refreshed Windows experience.

Came as described, a USB stick with the media on it and a card that has the product key. Would've been nice if there had been a more obvious explanation that the stick just installs Windows 11 (Home) and if your computer is already on that O's, just use the product key from the card.

Main reason why I went to Windows 11 professional is for the ability to use lots of ram. I installed 128 gigs of ram. After Effects and other programs can use all of the ram with Windows 11 professional.

I purchased Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (USB Flash Edition) and the experience has been excellent.
Installation: The USB flash drive makes installation quick and straightforward. Plug it in, boot from USB, and the setup process is smooth and user-friendly. Even on a fresh build, it only took a short time to get everything up and running.
Performance: Windows 11 Pro runs fast and stable. Applications open quickly, multitasking is seamless, and the system takes full advantage of modern hardware (DDR5, PCIe 5.0, etc.).
Features: Pro version includes BitLocker, Hyper-V, Remote Desktop, and Group Policy tools, which are essential for professionals and business users.
User Interface: The redesigned layout is clean and modern. Snap layouts and virtual desktops make it easier to stay organized.
Compatibility: Works great with all my hardware and software. Drivers installed automatically, and everything was recognized without issues.
Overall, the Windows 11 Pro USB edition is a convenient and reliable way to install Microsoft’s latest OS. Perfect for new PCs or upgrades, and the added Pro features are well worth it.

I recently purchased Windows 11 Pro from Best Buy, and overall, it’s been a really solid upgrade. The installation process was straightforward, and I appreciated that the activation key from Best Buy worked seamlessly.
Windows 11 Pro itself has a clean and modern interface, and I love the productivity features like the improved virtual desktops and the new Snap Layouts. Performance-wise, it feels snappy and stable on my system, and I haven’t run into any compatibility issues so far.
Overall, if you’re thinking about getting Windows 11 Pro from Best Buy, I’d definitely recommend it. It was easy to purchase, easy to install, and it’s been a great experience so far.

USB is great way to deliver the product, especially as CD/DVD drives are coming less common and sometimes lack of drivers don't allow Internet use prior to initial boot/installation of Windows.
Overall product is great, had no issues installing and drivers were much easier to get situated than with Windows 10(which is being phased out anyway) all in all the price was a bit much, and only reason I didn't go with 5 stars.

If you're building a custom computer and want a smooth, hassle-free installation of Windows 11 Pro, this USB Flash Drive is the perfect solution. I used it for my own new build, and the process was seamless and incredibly easy. Installing Windows 11 Pro was a breeze, saving me time and frustration. If you're setting up a new system, I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to install Windows 11 with zero hassle!

Essential, but pricey and with limited repair.

My system "broke" after an interrupted DISM repair attempt, and whatever solution I found online didn't seem to work for me. (It turns out that somehow the "repair" messed with multiple drives and confused my computer). The repair functionality is identical to the free download recovery disk. Unfortunately, that also means it's very limited.
Anyway, the USB drive is the same as if you download an installation file and buy a key card. Just in this case, you don't have to be online and it's ready to use.
Beyond that, it's Windows 11 Pro, and that's mature enough not to require much introduction. The Pro version gives me Bitlocker support, and not much more. But that detail is essential for backward compatibility.
Fate forced my hand, but in the end a clean install was what the doctor ordered. My system ran well enough, but now it "feels like new". Mission accomplished for an admission price of $200.

Did the job. I wish it was a bit cheaper but it isn't and I needed to get my newly built PC flashed with windows so what was I going to do? Didn't want to go to a sketchy place so I went with best buy. They are trusted and great. No hassle easy in easy out. Now my PC is gaming like the beast that it is.

Works as expected. Easy to install. Only issue I had was installing on a new build it starts to load from the USB then wants to connect to the internet. Remember to have your Ethernet or wifi driver on another USB to make the OS install smooth.
