Ordered Windows 11 as my operating system. It came as a DVD with a product key. My PC does not have a DVD tray, is there still a way to install windows 11?

    This project aims to enhance the working environment on Windows

  • It's fine, coming from Windows 10. If you don't like the new taskbar and lack of customization with it, ExplorerPatcher will take care of it.

  • Rufus

    The Reliable USB Formatting Utility

  • My go to for ISO by going to a website called TechBench by WZT. The microsoft one should be the latest ISO. Then use Rufus USB tool here at rufus.ie or Ventoy which will install to a USB stick and you just dump the ISO's to the USB stick you want to boot with. The Rufus usb tool is better since it will have options to disable the trusted platform module TPM 2.0 requirement and able to install on legacy pc's. Ventoy on the other hand just boots ISO's. It will not support outdated ISO's for Windows XP and older. After you install windows. I highly recommend Snappy Driver installer which will install missing drivers for your hardware. It will download the latest driver updates you need. Even for the unknown devices.
