Can I purchase Windows 11 for a new PC that I've built?

Hello fellas.

Finished building my PC and have to install the OS. I can't seem to find a way to purchase windows 11 from the Microsoft store. So, should I buy a Windows 10 license and then update to 11?

Thank you for your help!

 

Installing Windows 11 on New PC Build

Hello - I am running into an issue while trying to install Windows 11 on my new PC build.

I am able to get to the step where Windows wants to connect to a network in order to continue with the installation. However, I am not identifying any networks whatsoever. I have tried WiFi as well as having the PC plugged directly into the router via an ethernet cable. However, I continue to get stuck on this screen (screen shot below).

Here is a link to the parts used to build the PC in case that helps identify the issue: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kWRmxs

Does anyone have any insights to the steps I need to take to resolve this issue?

Thanks for your help!

 

Building new PC giving current PC to wife - Windows license questions.

I'm about to build a new gaming PC for myself and my wife will be taking over my current PC. As part of my new build I purchased a fresh Windows 10 home retail license/digital download and was curious as to the best way to handle my situation as far as
Windows is concerned.

What I was thinking... please correct me if wrong or there is a better way:

1. Build new PC and install Windows 10 home via USB drive made from the official installer.
2. Use activation key from this new Windows 10 home purchase on new PC .
3. Reset current PC via: Start > Settings > Update and Security > Recovery.
4. Remove my current PC from my devices via my Microsoft Account online.
5. Have my wife create a Microsoft account and log in to current PC to take ownership.

Is this the best practice for my situation?

On my current PC I see via: Start > Settings > Update and Security > Activation that, "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account". Does this mean I dont need to use the license I just purchased on my new PC build? Will
the activation/key for my current build that will go to my wife remain with that machine?

Thanks in advance all!
