    Building a new Computer-Win 11 Install question


    I am building a new machine which will have 2- 1tb m.2 ssd drives and several HDD storage drives. Question is when to install Win 11. Do I install the primary m.2 drive that will be the C drive and install the OS or can I install both m.2 drives and the HDD drives before installing the OS? Thanks

    :)

    Upgrade after building new machine to comply with Win 11 system requirements

    Thanks Carlo but I don't believe you understood my question. My machine running Win 10 does not meet all of the spec requirements to upgrade to Win 11. It makes more sense for me to build an entirely new machine since I'll need a new motherboard, processor, etc. My question is...if I'm building a new machine, will my Win 11 upgrade still be free even though it will be a new install on a new machine? My license for Win 10 is current and active on my existing machine but as I said, I'll need to install Win 11 on a whole new PC.

    Thanks
