Building my home PC and need a Win 11 home OS. Where can I get a reasonably priced Win 11 home OS? Price?

What is Win 10 home price now? Maybe better to get Win 10 home and upgrade to Win 11 home 5 years later when MS stops supporting Win 10?

Thanks.

P/S Plan now is to use Win home and upgrade to Win Pro if and when the need arises. Will the upgrade cost be too much to make this a worthwhile option?

go shopii my dood

if you got licence win 7 pro just upgrade from it.

2 PCs laptops i have not used. The problem is I do not have the OS license numbers etc.

Briefly, how to upgrade from old Win to Win 11?

Thanks.

Can still get regular Win 11 updates using those OS?

when it ask "what do you want to do?", select create installation media.
After it finish download, extract the content to desktop or another drive.
Select setup.exe and follow the guide.

Many thanks.

My challenge now is to find the win key. I have formated the old OS HD for use in new PC and thus cannot start up using that Win OS. Hope to find the sticker etc.

Worthwhile effort to save me a few hundred RM. Ha.

Thanks.

yes criteria must have a win10 license key i think

if pc already come with windows, you cannot find that sticker
start windows 8 pc come with windows no more sticker on pc case

They have this digital license tied to your Microsoft email account.
Once you logged in with MS account, it will automatically be activated.

Someone more knowledgeable should be able to explain better than me.

Does it stable to use for daily ?

Thanks.

I will try the MS email ac to explore. Do they keep track of all the licenses if I used the same MS email for my different Win?

I am not sure, I got two digital licenses, but since I am only using one copy of Windows, I cannot confirm whether the other license is still working. (For example, I got my Windows 10 Home digital license from Windows 7 Home Premium)

Also some license come with laptop is OEM license which is tied to the hardware namely motherboard so u can't transfer elsewhere and use them

Oh yes, now I remember, they even keep track of the components inside the Pc/laptop to catch those using one OS on many PC. Heard one youtuber whose job is to test different hardwares, his OS license was canceled later.

Are you installing new windows? If installing new windows just go and download bootable windows 10 and select win10pro. then go and buy the key on shopee for less than rm10. there you go. been using that with a few of my PCs. No issues at all.

Bingo, got Win 7 product key sticker on my old laptop!

Hope this route is possible:

install win 11 on my new PC, later use the Win 7 key to register and activate.

Possible? I cannot do that on the laptop as it has been dead for some years now.

if is OEM key you cannot use on other pc
buy lazada shopee ori over RM400-500, those leaked RM10 key like above say also got, if for personal use la

Your Win 7 key is from your old laptop right, in this case not possible as that key is OEM and it belongs to that specific laptop motherboard.
