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.

Not much to say about an OS besides if you are a windows user this will meet your expectations.
I normally get the disc versions of windows when i’m doing a new build but usually end up buying an external cd drive. The usb was way easier and didn’t take any longer to setup.
Windows 11 pro has been solid so far, no major issues that I’ve ran into.

Get The Retail Version For The Product Key

After purchasing and having a third party to assemble a new computer system using the Fractal Terra case to build around. Thus I needed an OS. Enter WIN11Pro....This no dig at Best Buy, but the installer USB is from one of the earlier WIN11Pro versions and there is NO direct path to upgrade to to 25H2. After a frustrating 48 hours later, and downloading the updated installer from MSFT. I noticed on one of setup windows, at the extreme lower left quadrant in TINY letters which allowed to install WIN11 without a MS Account. Yes, purchasing this retail version affords the product key but I highly recommend to download the latest installation tool from MSFT's website. Get you some popcorn and a beverage (either non adult or adult as frustrations will develop).

I built a new PC and needed windows. I know many people use those YouTube websites that are promoted for cheaper keys. I'm still hesitant on those so I took the hit on paying a higher price. The usb came with an earlier version of pro so i was able to create a local account instead of signing in with a MS account. So far the install seems to be working with no issues.

This is the best option to go for, buying the usb is very useful. Even though you get 1 authentication code for the OS, you can still use it to easily install windows on a PC that your building from scratch. I used it with the windows 10 usb and now with windows 11.
