Questions about Microsoft Windows 11 Pro

Hello On microsoft.com you can download Windows 11 as well as the Media Creation Tool. The tool can be used to create either a bootable USB stick or an iso file. The licence key will be sent to you by email after your purchase from Galaxus. Have fun! Greetings Jürg

No, this is a full version that can be used indefinitely. I.e. also on different mainboards.

Hello Merlin77, When you buy "Windows 11 Home", you will usually receive a product key that is printed out as a 25-digit code. This key is required to activate the operating system. Alternatively, there may also be a digital licence, especially if you have purchased the operating system via the Microsoft Store or as an upgrade from an older version. In this case, the licence is automatically linked to your Microsoft account and does not require a separate key for activation. If you need the licence key, you will usually find it in the confirmation email or on a label in the packaging material.

According to our information, this is the licence for a single device.

To install Windows 11 Pro on a computer without an operating system, follow these steps : 1. Download the Windows 11 ISO: Download the Windows 11 ISO image from the official Microsoft site. Make sure you select the appropriate language, for example, French. 2. Create an installation USB key: Use a tool like Rufus to create a bootable USB key from the ISO. Make sure that the USB stick has at least 8 GB of capacity and that its contents will be deleted during the process. 3. Enable TPM 2.0: If your PC allows it, enable the TPM 2.0 module in the UEFI settings to comply with Windows 11 requirements. 4. Boot from USB stick: Connect the USB stick to the computer, restart it, and select the USB stick as the boot disk in the UEFI menu. 5. Proceed to installation: Follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows 11. You will need to choose the language, accept the terms of use and select the installation location. If you do not have a product key, you can enter it later.

Yes, that works. I'm using it on Parallels with Apple Silicon.

Thank you for your message. We will be happy to check this.

Yes, it's the retail version.

To activate Windows 11 Home and receive the digital key, follow these steps, as the digital key is not downloaded directly to a stick, but rather by purchasing it and linking it to your Microsoft account: ## Purchase and download - Purchase Windows 11 Home from the Microsoft Store app or from an authorised reseller. You will receive a confirmation email containing the digital key or the instructions to retrieve the key. ## Activation with digital licence - If you purchased Windows 11 Home, the digital key will be automatically linked to your Microsoft account. Make sure you are signed in with the same Microsoft account that is linked to the digital licence. ## Installation and activation - Download the installation tool from the official Microsoft website and create a bootable USB drive. - Complete the installation and select the "I don't have a product key" option when prompted to enter one. Windows 11 will be activated automatically after installation if you are logged in with the correct Microsoft account. You cannot download the digital key directly to a stick, but must obtain it by purchasing it and linking it to your Microsoft account.

I had the code numbers for Windows. However, I had to ask for it several times because it wasn't in the documentation.

How can I download Windows on a new Pc with usb

I would first do a BIOS update. And look for the TMP item in the BIOS and switch it on if available. LG Mike

The key remains valid.

That should work in principle. Here is also a link where someone has managed it: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/im-trying-to-set-secure-boot-on-asus-prime-b450m-a/25678384-e552-4329-921f-92203286d9bc

In my opinion, Windows licences are only valid for one PC. You probably mean the Office licence. This is also available as a family pack for up to 5 people.

I purchased this and it came with a license key. You don't get any disc, but it's a fully functional version, not OEM.

Oh dear, according to our system, your code was generated 15 minutes after you placed your order and listed in your customer account at https://www.galaxus.ch/de/digitallicense. If there are any problems with this or in future cases, you can of course contact our customer service: https://helpcenter.galaxus.ch/hc/de/requests/new

Yes, you receive a product key

The Windows installation medium is probably missing a driver for the hard drive. This problem usually occurs with Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST). You can either download the driver from the manufacturer's website, load it onto a second USB stick and then install it during installation (should work in the same window as the drive selection) or you can try deactivating IRST in the UEFI (called "Intel VMD" on Asus laptops).

Hello. This is probably because it's a multilingual version.
