The prices are identical to their Windows 10 equivalents: Home is $139.00, while Pro costs $199.99. Before now, the only official way to purchase a copy of Windows 11 was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Microsoft-Windows-11-USB\/dp\/B09V6R9QZZ\/?tag=htgnews-20\">on a USB drive<\/a>. Even though many PCs come with a Windows product key, the option to buy one is still helpful for people building their own computers, or anyone using Windows in a virtual machine.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft didn\u2019t sell product keys specifically labelled for Windows 11, but you could perform a fresh install using a Windows 10 product key. The same situation was true in the early days of Windows 10, when many people successfully installed it using keys intended for Windows 7, 8, or 8.1. In fact, Windows 7 keys can reportedly <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Windows11\/comments\/uw5tvb\/comment\/ifw9exg\/\">still be used<\/a> to activate Windows 11.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is quick to note in the product pages that you still need a PC that meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. You can bypass some of the more strict requirements, but older PCs might run into problems. There\u2019s also no 32-bit version of Windows 11, unlike Windows 10.<\/p>\n<p>Even though you could technically already buy a key to activate Windows 11 from Microsoft \u2014 a Windows 10 key \u2014 the new store pages make it clear that you won\u2019t have issues with the newest operating system.<\/p>\n<p><small>Via: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/news\/diy-pc-builders-can-now-buy-window-11-licenses-from-microsoft\">PCMag<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><br \/>\n<!-- .entry-footer -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
