Microsoft Windows 11 HOME 64 Bit OEM DVD Lifetime

I set a new windows for my brand new build with this disk and its genuine and it's also includes activation key in it though it require a external cd drive but it was really compatibe with my msi pro and smooth running so I think it's must bought for new build

Windows 11 home 64 bit received DVD and peoduct key is genuine as it got activated after installation. My DVD does not open so not able to install software. Had to download Windows 11 from microsoft website prepare a USB ISO file (8GB) and then install.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This is an OEM version. If you are using it for assembled PC, activating Windows using the provided Key might be tricky. Use the DVD to install Windows and try to activate it. It would probably work. Buy retail version if you are not good at troubleshooting windows activation.

Good product

Easy to install. perfect if you've a customised pc

This was an easy install, once I got the disk in the mail. I still prefer physical media when it comes to windows. Be warned, you do have to have a pc that meets their new hardware requirements. If you go to Windows website, you can easily verify if your pc is compatible to the new 2.0 tpm security requirement to provide a more secure pc environment. What does 2.0 tpm really mean? If you don't know, no worries. Like I said, go to the Microsoft website and search to see if your computer is Windows 11 compatible, or talk to your local computer Nerd. FYI This is an Authentic place to buy a new copy of Windows 11 with a cd key.

This product was used on two home-built ASUS desktops and an ASUS Vivobook notebook computer. I make my computers to be dual boot; Windows (whatever version) and Linux (Mint). The way I switch operating systems is to shut down the computer, access the UEFI (BIOS), and change to the SSD or the partition of the operating system I want to use. This worked fine. I have done this sort of thing for years, dating back to Windows XP. Most of the time I leave these three computers running all the time under Windows (11). One morning last August (2024), I find all three computers were alive in Linux. I shut down and switched back to Windows, and the computers completed a compulsory update. Days later I try to switch to Linux to do (my) scheduled updates. Microsoft has locked me out of the UEFIs, so I cannot switch operating systems. Just swell. I can work around this with the desktop systems, but it is a Royal Pain. I have to get in the box, then pry out the lithium battery for the realtime clock and BIOS. After the BIOS' brains are scrambled, I reassemble the machine, set the clock, fix the "secure boot" vandalism, and switch (or not switch) operating systems. This works fine until Microsoft gets their tentacles on the computers again, via mandatory update. The notebook computer is another catastrophe. Getting inside is the thing is not much fun. I cannot find a lithium battery to pop out. It might not have one. I have an old HP money pit notebook that when you unplug the main battery, the BIOS wakes up says "Where the heck am I?" The ASUS Vivobook has no such feature. I have unplugged the battery overnight, and it still doesn't let go. The only way I can regain control is to unplug the SSD, and start the machine up without an SSD. That gets the BIOS' attention. I leave this computer running Linux. Someday, when I have time, I will rework the SSD to make it all Linux. The Vivobook has only one SSD. That is another joy brought to me from the Benevolent System "Administrators" of Microsoft. They will no longer allow me to back up Windows on another SSD. I have a 2 TB SSD, half Windows/half Linux. It looks like the only solution is Wipe the SSD and reinstall Linux on the entire 2 TB. Remember this when you contemplate buying your next Microsoft product. You think you own it, but do you really? Oh yeah, you pay for it. When it breaks you fix it, replace it, or junk it. But if you use it in a way that Microsoft does not approve, they will "fix" it for you. After all, they can do that. You really don't own it.

It works. I just needed the key. You can download the OS from Microsoft for free and put it on a USB drive. Who puts a DVD drive in a new build in 2026? I have a portable USB DVD drive but doing it that way didn't want to work for me. Downloading a copy and putting it on a thumbdrive is easy.

Good
