Turns out these drives are write protected, so you shouldn’t plan on using them for other purposes. Still, I think it’s neat to have.
Heh, there is no way I would use modern day Windows operating system USB flash drives as shortcuts for transferring files to other computers anyway!
I actually really like that. At least you know it's immutable. Granted, you can't update it with later releases, but neither could you with a pressed DVD, so...
@@nickwallette6201 ...and well-preserved as time goes on, best of all (just like various other Microsoft Windows products from over the years).
thats kinda a shame, as they release updated ISO of Win10 I think they would do the same for 11 then you could update the install on these flash drives to have a newer ISO guess they said nope on that
I remember when they started shipping 10 on USBs, they were written with the intention that you wouldn't overwrite them, if you did write to them you could only put it under regular use for a couple months before the flash chips went dead. You could read from them pretty much indefinitely though.
Honestly never knew that Windows was sold on USB drives nowadays. I haven't bought a physical full version since Win 7.
I bought Windows 10 on CD for the PC I built in 2019. It was sold on USB and CD
I mean it makes sense. if you're gonna do a physical version of an operating system it's not gonna be on a cd.
@@polocatfan my PC doesn't even have a cd drive
@@bestGaming132 I've got two. =D
@@blunderingfool I want your PC!
A couple months ago I was looking for a physical copy and couldn't find any for retail. I was able to get one in DVD in the ugly OEM envelope style which was better than nothing. I just wanted a physical license sticker.
Nice
It's better than nothing.
@@SubtotalAnt8185 no the envelope ones are cursed
I got windows 10 on DVD-ROM form an OEM veider; That's my be how you will have to get an Windows 11 DVD-ROM. The number 1 resoen to got Windows 10 on DVD-ROM has to do with the fact I trust optical discs more then USB Drives. That along with how good the M-Disk BD-R disks are makes me say with optical discs.
@@GoodGooseThingit Depends what version it is if it's OEM you are right. But unlocked then you are wrong cause there are two versions of the envelope.
I got the open unlocked one.
There is also a DVD/BD version of the Windows 11 physical copy, usually only found in offline stores.
I WANT THAT!!
Since the Windows 10/11 installation image is already bigger than 4.7 GiB (the maxium capability of DVD), I'm wondering if it will ask you to change the disc or filp to the other side when installing?
@@FaithfulMinds Dual layer DVDs can hold 8.5GB. I like the idea of flipping the disc over though!
Me too! I want Windows 11 on DVD or Blu-ray Disc! I am more familiar with installing Windows through optical discs since Windows XP.
@@FaithfulMinds The latest Win11 consumer image is about 3.5 GiB.
I don't know if you noticed it or not
But the design on the USB shifts from the old logo to the new logo depends on light and angle
😮
yo thats cool
Since I have plenty of flash drives; if I bought this, I would keep the installer on it in case something goes wrong later on. I miss being able to reuse a disk, though. In the past, only floppies could do that. Couldn't with CDs. Unless it was a RW. I used to collect AOL floppies and reformat them to use for downloading small games and doom / duke3d levels in my school computer lab to take home to my pc. lol
I honestly think most of back the day who were on a budget did that, I know I did....
Dang... we went from a Few MBs on Floppys to 1TB on an SD card that's smaller than a coin.
That's pretty cool. I downloaded stuff at school on floppy, too. I've got a huge stack of AOL CDs as well, been thinking about making something arty with them.
@@anon_y_mousse cant even install windows 11 OS without internet connection, like all the previous versions, I'm not gonna say kinda sucks, nah it totally Blows.
@@ThisOLmaan Yeah, though I meant my comment only about the downloading stuff at school. I don't even use Windows at all. My only problem with installing my OS was figuring out how to handle UEFI, which I ultimately disabled because I don't need its features and would like to mitigate the chances of a remote attack disabling the whole computer. Not that I couldn't leave it enabled, I just didn't want to.
The box and the USB drive should have rounded corners just like W11 windows
I want the DVD to be rounded too🙂
That would be clever.
@@thesilhxuette3123 dvds are circular meaning they have no sides or corners
@@QuantumScratcher you didn't get that lmao
@@QuantumScratcher you are confused
You've just gotta love the "May come in a future release" at 2:47.
I find the price of this pretty interesting. Microsoft's pricing for Windows has DECREASED over the years. For example, Windows XP retailed for $99 for the upgrade, and $199 for the full version. Windows XP Professional was $199 for an upgrade and $299 for a full version.
Makes sense, considering the fact that almost every alternative to Windows is free and they are getting more and more popular over the years even though they likely won't overtake Windows anytime soon
Probably because of all the freaking ads and privacy violations subsidizing it.
@@arnox4554 I wouldn't mind buying a full copy of Windows again if I didn't have all that mess. Oh well Linux take my money... Oh it's free.
Same with Mac OS too
@@BumWolf69 Me too. I would pay good money for a physical Windows-7-esque quality OS.
It's crazy Windows still costs $150< like this. I haven't spent a dollar on Windows in years.
The last version I paid for was windows 8
Don't. Ever.
True, a large majority of people just buy from an OEM like Dell so they never really see the license cost of windows. I am sure companies pay way less for licenses than the retail price here.
@@samuel-wankenobi Hello there
@@ComradeRachel Or they use it unactivated forever. Which pretty much works the same minus some gimmick settings.
I used to collect physical Windows versions, but with 10 and 11 both being free upgrades, I could never justify spending money on them just to have the box. Will probably wait until years down the road when they're cheaper.
Microsoft has never lowered prices of their O.S.'s
Or maybe just buy the box off someone.
I just upgraded to Windows 11. All the changes I could notice are:
-task bar entries cannot be ungrouped anymore (so they removed a very useful feature for no apparent reason)
-There are now 2 start menus instead of one, only one of which can be opened with the Windows key (I'm sure many users asked for this MAJOR improvement)
@stefan: sometimes I think they make change for change sake.
Cry harder. After using windows 11 for 2 days windows 10 looks gross
@@Jfxkxdvrvr Lmao windows 11 looks like the bastard child of OS X and Chrome OS, but you do you bb.
Windows 11 also has far more bloatware, far less features, and cripples SSD speeds, but again, you do you bb.
@thecoon3193 yeah none of that is true and you would know this if you actually compared your system performance on both operating systems. Windows 11 has been significantly smoother than 10. People are just boomers who don't like change
@@Jfxkxdvrvr
I'm a level 3 Technical Analyst working for a Fortune 100 company supporting 45,000 workstations both Windows 10 and Windows 11. I have actually compared system performance, and on thousands of devices.
Windows 11 is not even close to smoother. It kills SSD speeds by 45% when bitlocker is enabled(which is a must on enterprise devices) unless you go through a massive pain in the ass process that entails entirely reimaging the device and enabling hardware encryption, utilizes TWICE the RAM resources Win 10 does at idle(because it has so much telemetry that is uninstallable), has less functional context menus, less functional task bar, less functional start menu, less functional file explorer, and the list can go on.
I know these are popular for those building their own computers. I used to work at Micro Center in the computer repair dept and often when someone built their computer they would buy the boxed copy of Windows 10 with the usb,. So we would install it and put in the license key for them. So there is some demand as you can't easily just buy a key from microsoft from a retail store if you are buying computer parts.
there's no need to buy windows at all. there are multiple less than legal methods to get it for free.
@@jojivlogs_4255 Don't do that unless you are a student or something. If you want a free OS, go with a Linux distro.
@@louistournas120 i dual boot
@@jojivlogs_4255 windows is completely free if you ignore the fact that you can't enable dark mode thru normal means, have a wallpaper and that a "activate windows" message appears
There is no need to pirate it, the official installer does the job just fine.
As for dark mode, it is just a registry tweak.
@@arjix8738 i didnt say anything about software piracy. you can find activation keys online
as for why it's a 32gb chip: cause on many listings 32gb flash currently gives you the cheapest price when ordered in bulk like 100k or so - buying a 16gb chip would had just cost more in the end
as for why both home and pro: cause it depends on the product key which features gets enabled - the install is the same for both - that's a feature from at least win 10 where you install pretty much a full blown pro version and by switching the key you switch what features are enabled - this goes back as far as vista when the wim format was first used
Yeah, heck in Windows 11 you don't even pick the edition in the install menu, it just installs home unless you activate with a Pro key.
No it doesn't. If your computer doesn't have a license in the BIOS you get a selection. Home only gets auto selected if you have a Home license on your motherboard.@@shanez1215
thanks for the upload. having a repair usb drive is actually handy. tip: try ventoy if you want multiple iso on one usb drive
Bro's talking like people actually BUY copies of windows
I do. Always have. I know I could save money on keys or even just live with a watermark but I just like having the os box. Still have my xp box from my first build. Even have a couple old Mac os boxes.
@grawbad6397 Most people just pirate the OS, precracked. There's also ways to remove the watermark, through the reg editor method. No need to buy or use keys. No need to live with the watermark.
@@Cali_SharpYou can also just use MAS
Also bro this was a year ago
It just further proves that people actually DONT want to pay for things if they’re easily able to steal them. Hence why in the technology industry it’s so sociopathic from both the customer & the producer. Each side think they’re justified in their broken logic horrific looking view of capitalism. But there’s no need to get “deep”, human beings are just animals anyway.
@@Cali_SharpNo, most people get a copy of genuine windows free with their laptops
DO NOT... try to format, or remove the Partition-tables on that USB drive...
I did this to the physical copy of Windows 10 PRO once,
and the USB-drive got permanently bricked lol.
dude, you're legend
i was thinking what happen if i formatted those drive tbh, thanks for the answers lol.
Capitalize do and not: DO NOT
I wonder if maybe the partition table is just borked… You could try to remove it using DiskPart (built in Windows tool). Look up how to use the “clean” command (be very careful you select the USB drive!) and try to reformat the drive using the Windows partitioning utility.
@@fqdn DiskPart would not save the drive from this mistake, no.
I used a 3rd part software to remove the Partition-table on the drive (as Windows, and DiskPart would not let me do so)
and now it's permanently bricked.
Imagine like 30 years from now someone just like Michael MJD will be looking at a untouched sealed copy of Windows 11
Edit: thanks for all the likes i never got this many :)
@Vinícius Felipe Posselt Darn it. You beat me to the perfect comment.
I feel like this is an inside diss lol, Michael is only in his early 20s I think.
Imagine even in 30 years someone wanting a copy of Windows 11.
"it used USB back then"
@@arnox4554 For RETRO builds
Can confirm that since release MSFT have been doing OEM DVDs of Windows 11, work in IT and have ordered a few for customer computers
where do u order from?
@@moneybuas4942 it depends country to country obviously, but here multiple computer parts retailers and wholesalers have the OEM licenses with DVDs.
That's really neat. I wish the flash drive looked a bit better. Windows Vista and 7 era packaging was an eye candy. CDs can't look good but flash drives sure can.
CD can look good. Look at windows me’s CD
@@staz3014 this kid is confused, CDs look great unless you reflect a face that is disgusting like this individual
This is really cool! I've honestly never bought a standalone operating system personally, I have always just stuck with whatever has come with the PC/laptop, and never upgraded.
I know that might really confuse and even annoy some people but once I use and get accustom to an operating system I see no reason to change it! Currently running Windows 21H2 on an Alienware R12 with no plans to upgrade to Windows 11.
Both my sister and partner have updated to Windows 11 and honestly I find it..strange(?) to use, 10 just seems so much more familiar to me.
All of that said, the fact you can buy Windows 11 as a physical now is really cool. I'd like to see a shelf with the boxes for DOS, through Windows 9X, XP and 7 up to 11. That'd look sweet. 😊
If you build your own PC, it's not possible to just use the OS it comes with because it doesn't come with one. It's also handy to have some Windows install drives in case something goes horribly wrong with your PC that makes you need a reinstall (but I wouldn't buy one, just use the tool for making your own)
Seems official to me. Guess Microsoft still makes Digital and Physical versions today.
Apple does not, ever since the Mac App Store was introduced in 2011
well many company use window as their OS and mostly are boomer and used with physical copy as backup
@@SeanZraft So people who use linux are "special" breed? no wonder why people call linux fanboy as loser because they hate every popular thing.
I mean, kinda helpfu for those who build PCs on their own and doesn't own a flash drive so physical copy may save them time
@@vidmaker208 apple is confused and stupid
Love the packaging. Never thought we could get one in today's time where everything is digital.
but....dvd/bluray disk is digital
@@epicmetodhe means floppy disks
Reason why Windows 11 USBs have home and pro is because they are the same product. You are installing Windows 11 (You need Pro license to activate pro or home features, home license to activate just Home features). Not sure if you can use Pro license to install pro into 1 and home to 1 computer, but it seemes like that. During installation you are opted to choose which version features are installed, but product key activates them.
chill vid, best thing to watch when arriving home from school
There's a lot of remnants of previous Windows versions in Windows 11.
They include:
-Windows 8
-Windows 7
-Windows Vista
-Windows XP
-Windows 98
-Windows 95
-Windows 3.1
-DOS
Why is that now relevant for the unboxing of the physical copy?
Good job watching an enderman video
Im seeing some Endermanch content
Don't forget 10
You've overshoot with DOS, that has been completely dropped, as Win11 is 64-bit only
I like the look of the Windows USB Driver! Its so Beautiful!
I made sure to purchase a windows 10 pro USB drive - I like having these around for ease of installation/resetting machines. came in handy a few times - thanks for the heads up on 11 being released
Why not just make a windows installation on a normal usb?
You know you make these for free right?
@@tylerhippo honestly, it’s a bit of a novelty. But it’s easy to spot on the shelf and comes with a printed serial/key
I would buy this just to keep it sealed and sell it 20 years later to a new MJD
In most cases, 20 years later, it _might_ be selling for the same price as it did, new. Except after inflation has changed the value of that money.
windows 95 is over 20 years old and an unopened version sells for $130 bucks on ebay. Less than what it originally cost.
put some stuff in the sand for 1000 years and it becomes priceless!
@@andycristea Lol, now we need to be able to live that long. No point taking chances as to whether the next of kin will not just sell it at some garage sale.
Didn't know they sent you a flash drive as the installation media nowadays, very neat, gotta say
I would however be sad if this were to become a default for software releases
The default for software releases will always be digital download can't see that changing any time soon.
The reason why the partition isn't the full size is that if they change suppliers of the actual stick/electronics inside the casing, and the spare sector area is slightly different (which affects available space to the user), the disk image they write to the sticks still fits no matter the variation in available space from different 32GB sticks
That’s really interesting to know
Thank you!
can we format this usb? At lease i can't. tis write protected and i cant seem to remove it
I didn’t even know they still sale physical copies. But a s someone who loves physical software/media it’s nice to know! Although nowadays I don’t purchase an operating system physicals anymore, only some software. Like just one year ago I purchased a physical copy of a music production software.
They still make DVDs as well, but only in OEM packaging (since Windows 10).
Is 1 DVD enough? Feels like you need multiple discs to install win10 or 11
@@idtyu theres a thing called double layer dvds which are about 8gb in size
As a physical collector of video games, I am highly interested in physical collecting for operating systems. Very cool.
Problem with this is that flash drives aren't very good for "Cold Storage" and need to be powered from time to time, otherwise they'll die. So I wouldn't leave it sealed forever lol
I LOVE THE (box lands on table) CAPTION
It feels like I really own it when I buy a physical copy.
It's just a license, there's no difference between this and an online copy.

Nice to have some physical media - I kind of miss the old days with Windows disks and CD's.
Don’t forget floppy’s, but that may date me a little bit. 😊
Despite how I feel about windows 11, I’m glad they’re keeping the tradition of physical copies. However I miss their cool shiny discs. It’s not the same with USB
Disks are slower, larger, easier to break, and every PC has a USB drive, and a lot of PC's don't have disk drives. There's too many downsides for Mike to use disks these days.
The usb is cute though like a battery
@@Dribbleondo I just removed the whole Cd Drive( or whatever its called) from my PC and threw it just because my new ram's heatsink was touching it.

Heard it also comes in 8trac - AWESOME!
That clearly looks like the VHS one.
The DVD version is available to buy currently.
Windows ISOs usually ship with most editions (except Enterprise) if no product key is specified so it makes sense why the USB drive reports containing both Home and Pro
It can also get annoying when you want to install Windows Pro but the OEM system has a home key embedded in the BIOS/UEFI so that’s the key the windows installer is picking up unless you modify the ei.cfg file beforehand
This has caused us so much trouble in the Office - preparing a Laptop for Autopilot is all nice and dandy, but if the device comes with home, it will then need to download a new windows version to upgrade to Enterprise - if it's on Pro, it just seemingly "flips a switch" and is converted to the subscription Enterprise Version. And if it was a pre-installed Enterprise Version, it tries to reach a non-existant KMS Server that doesn't exist, because we use MBP subscriptions per user that activate after sign in and the Enterprise Version doesn't like that out of the Box.
@@Marenthyu You can upgrade a home edition to pro using a default key. Then “flip the switch” to enterprise with your license. No reinstalls required.
May Allah (S.W.T.) guide you and bestow upon you His Blessings; Ameen.
@@NazmusLabs Correct, but that isn't even the point of my situation - the laptops come pre-installed with Pro and their Key baked in to the UEFI. But still, it has bloatware pre-installed, so we wipe it with a fresh install, only installing the drivers we need and then proceeding with Autopilot.
It only runs into issues if you, during this install step, install an Enterprise Edition, which may try to contact a KMS Server. It depends on the exact image and how it was generated.
Home is effectively completely out of the question here as it is not pre-installed and initially installing it would just be bothersome as it would then upgrade from the burnt-in key and THEN switch to Enterprise from the Subscription. It's an easily-skipped step by just installing Pro instead.
Considering Windows 11 is just Windows 10 with a new oobe, start menu, theme and a hack making the window manager make all windows have rounded corners, them not bothering to replace the logo doesn't make that much of a difference.
For me w11 is just a modernized and cut in functionality w10...which is modernized andcut in functionality w8.1 which is modernized and cut in functionality w7 ;-)

Wow.. looking great!
Every Windows Vista,7,10,11... iso contains all editions (except Enterprise). All you need to do is to change the "ei.cfg" file (or create one) witch is a text file in the "sources" folder, and remove the [EditionID] parameter.
wait, what? i've gotta try that one day
We want the Enterprise version of Windows; no more Home or Pro versions.
I still like owning physical copies so this is great to see!
I love 11. Best Windows ever - only had to use the Rufus fix on my old A6 HP board.
Love to get non dl products. Enjoying to have them in my sideboard next to the other win products 😍
I just checked Jimm's (Finland's biggest computer component seller), they have OEM-versions of Win 11 available as DVD (Home & Pro)
Dunno, how legit that is considering they have never been officially released on DVD. Current Official window(s) come with usb stick, as modern machines don't have dvd burner anymore.
@@StuffJason437 I said OEM. And they're legit.
@@alexzeller8774 Anyone can say "OEM". But if they're truly legit then has to be a limited run targetted towards those on older machines which defeats the purpose considering Windows 11's lackluster compatibility with older machines, and could've just contained a usb stick as many machines don't come with dvd burner and usb is lot faster even on older machines then spinning disc.
@@StuffJason437 Okay fair enough, but for me cool to have. Though would be awesome to see retail DVD
"Tells you not to eat the USB drive"
Wow, literally 1984
The packaging is so beautiful..
I believe that a DVD version of windows 11 exists as Austin Evens bought a copy from micro center
The pack design is about the same as the one for Office 360. Thankfully though this is not a "medialess" release like the Office one I've seen in person, as that (basically a piece of cardboard and minimal paperwork) is NOT a physical copy in my book.
Ironically you CAN download a full offline “ISO” file of office 365 and make your own physical USB installation media. Not sure why Microsoft doesn’t just include that.
May Allah (S.W.T.) guide you to Islam and bestow upon you His Blessings; Ameen.
I would imagine it's just easier and cheaper for Microsoft to include both versions of the OS on the drive. I'm surprised Microsoft just doesn't do one installer for all versions, and the installer chooses which version to install automatically, depending on the key used.
That's exactly what they do.
I’ve seen a DVD version available at the computer stores here in Sweden since launch. It is the OEM version though.
Nice review! i have Windows 11 Pro update showing up but I want to stick to 10
Oh hey, you got bloatware in physical form, now it will occupy your shelf, and stick out

Seems neat not having to dedicate a USB for it. Even if you don't install windows still you need one USB drive for repair shenanigans. This are useful for when internet doesn't work on the pc to fix and for some recovery. I have to use one for updating a w7 that didn't work well anymore.

Why the internet driver is often the one missing is beyond me but it's the most common driver I have to find when reinstalling windows.
the problem is that dvd drives just got disappeared from pc's at these ages
it's still cool to have a physical copy of windows 11
dude ur videos are amazing
Well based on the bugs they are still having, I'm not surprised they delayed release. Will it ever not have major bugs?
People said the same thing about Windows 10. I've been using Win 11 since March and haven't experienced any major bugs. A few smaller ones, but no major ones.
I haven't paid for a release of Windows since Windows 7. I got a pre-release of Windows 8 as a beta tester. That got ungraded for free to the full version. Then I got a free Windows 8.1 the same way. Then everyone got an upgrade to Windows 10 for free. And the same happened to Windows 11. I love how solid Windows is now. During the 95, 98, XP days, I would to a full re-install every twelve month or so. I've never had to do it since 8.1. it rarely crashes or blue screen, and general maintenance keeps it fighting fit.
Honestly, Microsoft is actually creating new theme over win 7 and making it as a new release everytime . Settings panel is a good example.
You = Legend
@@123berno I'd sort of agree with you there. And yes, I've been running 11 since it's pre-release days, and I'm still two builds ahead of the general public due to Microsoft testing. But the thing is, if you like Windows, what else are you going to use? Windows 10 is still supported, but not for much longer. So it's either Windows, buy a Mac, or learn to use Linux. I dual boot Ubuntu, but rarely use it nowadays. I even have Android apps on my Windows 11 machine now
@@DemonArshan It's easy to do. Especially now. I'm two builds ahead of the general public due to still being a tester. And Windows 11 is solid now. I use Ccleaner and Malwarebyte twice a month and that's about it. Microsoft's Defender is pretty good as antivirus software, so I don't need anything else.
@@Cyberpunk001 Do you know how to bloatware Windows 10 pre installed apps. I have nothing installed except for Adobe Photoshop and it says 30 percent RAM usage for what I don't know.
i'm glad that even in the age of modern flash media, there's still fancy hologram stickers
Nice, I've always been a huge fan of physical releases.
I get it, physical OS releases don't really make much sense in the digital age, but still, this is very minimal compared to the awesome boxes from the WinVista/Win7 times.
Weird for them to leave more than a gig unallocated, but hey, this is Microsoft we're talking about, so surprises are to be expected haha.
Is the flash drive any good? Is it fast? Who's making them?
I'm sorry to inform you, but windows usb sticks are write protected, and you can't change that
What's funny is my Windows 10 USB stick that I got in 2018 actually has a logo that looks remarkably similar to the Windows 11 logo.
I was hunting for a hard copy a few months ago and couldn't locate any in stores. I was able to obtain one on DVD in the unsightly OEM envelope format, which was better than nothing. I was just looking for an actual license sticker.
Woah. I never realized that a physical copy for Windows 11 would ever be a thing. I think this may be the first time that microsoft ever included usbs with windows products lol. (If another thing like this existed before, then it appears that I was not aware lol) I always saw usb installing as an unofficial way to install windows. But it appears that I was proven wrong heh heh. Great video btw!
Windows 10 physical copies are on USB nowadays.
Physical copy of retail win10 has usb installer included
@@brianflynnlol Oh! Looks like the unaware thing i mentioned appeared to be true lol
That moment when youtube gets delayed with replies-
@@fastcx Yep
imagine actually paying for windows lol
If only those flashdrive are not write protected I would consider buying the physical copy of windows, that flashdrive looking cool af
I actually remember when my friend got bunch of Ubuntu DVDs back when they were trying to take off. We obviously were too young and naive to install and we didnt even figure out its installation process.
One thing interesting that I found with Windows 11 is that I installed it on my older Core 2 Quad desktop PC that I put together with old parts and it actually has a 3 1/2" Floppy disk drive and interestingly enough, I can actually use 3.5" Floppy disks in Windows 11 just like how I would have used them back in Windows 95 even though with such a low capacity, I would think that most people haven't used floppy disks in over 20 years. I remember that CD-RW disks began to replace floppy disks like in 2000 or 2001.
imagine using 2451521 floppy drivers to install win 11 :D
Floppy support on 11 is more interesting than on 10 because AFAIK _no_ PC meeting the Windows 11 official system requirements has a legacy floppy controller. Although I could be mistaken on that. What I want to know is whether or not serial mice will still work out of the box.
@@eDoc2020 I haven't tried that. I do remember that people stopped using floppy disks and moved on to using other storage devices with higher capacity by 2000 or 2001. My older desktop that I have Windows 11 does actually have a floppy disk controller on the motherboard, it's actually a Core 2 Quad CPU
@@sburton015 I believe the late Core 2 era is when desktops starting to drop floppy controllers. Floppy controllers weren't uncommon on first gen i7 systems but I don't think I've seen newer systems with floppy ports.
@@eDoc2020 I also do still have one older laptop with a floppy drive which is a Toshiba Satellite 330CDS from 1998. Of course there would be no way that it would run Windows 11. I still have it on Windows 98 second edition which I remember was released around this same month in 1999. However, if you bypass the TPM and CPU check, Windows 11 would run fine on any PC that's a Core 2 Duo from 2007 or later. I think desktops kept floppy drives until about 2009 or 2010.
3:23 Win11 is basically Win10 with some "new"/"redesigned" elements. It doesn't even really have any features that make it superior to Win10...
It's Windows 10 but with security required (Password protected account required, TPM required, encryption required). It would be difficult to force all Windows 10 users into this higher security version of the OS, so they just made a different version.
That's an exaggeration. Windows 11 does have SOME improvements.
It makes windows easier to control when snapped side-by-side, adds additional snap layouts, remembers window positions on external monitors, and shows Linux filesystems in File Explorer, among other things.
Windows 11 is the WEF edition of windows 10 where you will no longer own the computer you built, and the megacorps and elitest goons in Davos will be happy.
@@CocoTheMii
But those improvements are minor. And you can pretty easily peel out any Windows version you like if you know where to dig. (for example: you can close windows by double-clicking their application icon in the top left)
@@Lampe2020 Yes, but you said that it didn't have ANY improvements, which isn't true.
Love how the Home and Pro boxes both use the default Bloom wallpaper, but also how they use the light and dark themes
What a madlad buying a physical version just for his viewers
A physical copy of a product that requires you to sign in to a Microsoft Account, genius.
There must be a law where if you buy physical copy of software, It should be workable without Internet connection. Why would someone buy physical copy if he/she has working Internet? Many countries still have kbps speeds/super expensive internet.
You can't reformat the USBs Microsoft sneds out. At least you can't with the Windows 10 one. It's read-only which is dumb considering all I wanted to do was put an updated Windows 10 ISO on it because it shipped with 1909 on my copy.
Same here, and I found that out the same way. Michael should have actually checked this before putting out bad info.
I do believe there is a DVD version of Windows 11. I imagine Microsoft makes both for enterprise purposes.
Does this support upgradation to next versions..?
Can this be used multiple times to activate my pc?
It would be great if it included a mail-in coupon to get Windows 11 on a set of floppy disks
Bruh.
a youtuber named enderman did this with windows 10 and it takes 2800 something diskettes
“tells you to not eat the USB drive…” 💀🤣🤣😂😂😂
And you will become a window 11😂😂😂😂
Does the Internet require to download or install windows 11 from this USB drive?
lol I Love How "Michael" Start the Video Throwing His Copy Version of Windows into the table😂😂0:00
Warning for new users of Pro setting up, if you're using 23H1 it will eventually require you to set up using a Microsoft account, this was rolled out the other week to insiders.
Does it apply to Enterprise?
@@My_Old_YT_Account Don't think so yet.
23H2*
Good thing I don't have windows 11
Always a great day when MJD drops a new video!
true
Yeah
Michael, Would you care to share the PID & VID of this thumb drive? Thank you!
So cool that there is a physical copy of Windows 11, i really like Windows 11 so far, it looks so elegant and it just works!
