LetвЂ™s reiterate the Windows 11 system requirements: But we've also heard from readers who have had trouble using these keys with Windows 11 or later Windows 10 releases, so your luck may vary. Unofficially, I've had some success using old Windows 7 and Windows 8 product keys to activate equivalent editions of Windows 11-it's an open secret that the Windows 10 installer would continue to accept these older product keys long after the 'official' free Windows 10 upgrade offer expired back in 2016.

Its product key should work to install and activate Windows 11. As of this writing, the only sites I see selling retail editions of Windows 11 are scammy product key websites that I wouldn't trust with my credit card info, so I would recommend buying a Windows 10 license from a reputable site. If you're installing Windows 11 on a new PC you've just built yourself, officially, you should buy a Windows 10 or Windows 11 license.

Once you have a USB drive, you can either boot from it to perform a clean install or run the Setup app from within Windows 10 to do a normal upgrade install. The second is to use the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool, which automates the process of creating a bootable USB install drive or downloading an install ISO file. One is to use the Installation Assistant app, which you install on your PC to trigger a normal upgrade install via Windows Update. Microsoft offers several ways to download Windows 11 manually. But because Microsoft is rolling out Windows 11 slowly over the course of many months, your PC may not see it yet.

We've pulled together all kinds of resources to create a comprehensive install guide to upgrading to Windows 11. Or maybe you'd like to install Windows 11 on an 'unsupported' PC because Microsoft is not your parent and therefore cannot tell you what to do. But you may want to install the operating system anyway because you want to test it or because you like to run the newest thing. We think most people should wait a few months to give Microsoft time to iron out Windows 11's biggest new-operating-system bugs and finish releasing updates for Windows' built-in apps.
