Win 11 on new rig

[jianrong]

Ok so now i had got my rigs part ready but i realise i never choose a dvdrom. Realise now pc case dont have 5.25 cage. So i am planning to go sim lim to install my rig. If i purchase a win 11 from the shop. How would they install win 11 into new rig and also i would get back win 11 disc? or now it come with usb or iso?

Or to buy usb flashstick and download from win 11 website to make it as usb boot drive but use back the old win 10 disc product key from many years ago? Note: i do not receive any upgrade to win 11 email eligibility.

Or if i buy win 11 from shop i still need to get external dvdrom that connect via usb? i cannot find one that support usb 3.0.

legit version?

Legit or not i cant tell u but alot of ppl are doing that
Windows have diff kinds of license, like student can get it free etc
Probably license from online seller get them from somewhere

I have been using for years la no issue
Can do everything like windows update etc
Dun scare

just installed, so this windows is activated and safe to use?

got this

SM Bus Controller Driver issue​

in device management, fixed with installing MB chipset drivers

Usually for best performance you have to load all the motherboard drivers
especially for older PC from the manufacturer website.
Windows update may install incompatible or wrong driver like audio.

Device not ready - is disc drive dead physically?

Sometimes can be issue of the adapter, have you try connecting directly?

i bought it from shop too with a disc. But is already install on this old rig. I dont think i can use this product key. And this old rig might be a backup use for simple normal usage.

Yes you are right, u will need another license for the new rig. If u game, get win10.

win11 is not “optimised” for gaming my games crash, hang on win 11 after upgrading.
