Windows 11 has matured into a fantastic modern operating system and there's never been a better time to move up to the latest OS.

This is the latest version of Windows - it's a media creation tool that can be used to upgrade an existing installation of Windows or create installation media for another PC. Just make your choice after launching the tool and it'll do the rest.

What's new in Windows 11? The latest release brings an improved UI, enhanced dark mode, integrated Android apps right on your desktop, much-improved virtual desktops, upgraded Microsoft Store, Microsoft Teams integration, enhanced security and much more.

Apps now work much more like regular desktop programs. They have minimise, maximise, restore and close buttons, and can be resized (to a degree) and organised however you like.

If you've still lost track of a program in the mass of open windows, a new Task Spaces feature can help. Click its taskbar button and you'll see thumbnails for everything running now, a little like MacOS's Mission Control - just click something to switch to it.

Better still, Task Spaces also supports virtual desktops. Add extra desktops as required and it'll display thumbnails of each one, making it easy to identify whatever you're after and switch to it.

With Windows 11 Home is ideal for building your own PC, getting Windows 11 installed on an old PC (check whether it's Windows 11 compatible, first) or simply starting from scratch or as a Windows operating system for your Intel* Mac either via Boot Camp or as a virtual PC. You could also setup a dual-boot Linux/Windows system, too.

If you're planning to install Windows 11 on your old PC, remember to check it's compatible first, before purchasing.

*M1/M2/M3/M4 Mac users: You cannot use Windows 11 Home on an Apple Silicon Mac. Windows 11 Professional is the option you need. See "Options for using Windows 11 with Mac® computers with Apple® M1® and M2™ chips" from Microsoft for more information.

Performance Issues?

Most system performance issues are often a result of other software clashing with your brand new software. For instance, security software can clash with a background process, such as a system maintenance tool or defragmentation software. Another cause of system slowdown, is a result of two software applications performing a similar task. As an example, Windows includes a firewall switched on as a default. Your new security suite is likely to include a firewall. You only need one firewall running. In this example, try turning off your system firewall.

Uninstalling Your New Software

Occasionally you may need to either temporarily or permanently remove your new software.

On a Windows computer, go to the Control Panel and choose Programs and Features. Locate the program within the list, then click it to highlight it. Finally, click the Uninstall button at the top of the list and follow the instructions to remove the program from your PC.

On an Apple Mac computer, using Finder, locate the Applications folder. Within the Applications folder, find the name of the application you wish to remove. Simply drag the icon to your Trash icon in your dock. Empty the Trash to remove the files from your computer.

Still Having Problems?

If you cannot solve your system performance issues or are struggling to remove your software, we advise contacting the software manufacturer. If you placed an order, see the section in the order which states Support options. Alternatively, go to the Contact Us page to contact store support directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to the most common questions about our services and platform

How Do I Order Software?
Simply select the software you want to order by clicking the "Buy Now" button or, where the option exists, clicking on "Upgrade". The upgrade option enables you to upgrade from a previous version of the software. When you click "Buy Now" you will be taken to your shopping cart, powered by Cleverbridge, where you can choose a payment option and then receive your download and serial code within seconds, after making your payment.
What Is The Extended Download Insurance?
When you order software online, you receive a digital download and a serial code by email. You normally have 30 days from placing the order to download your software, if you need to download again in the future. You can choose to extend this to two years, enabling you to login to your account and find your download, serial code(s) and your original invoice. Ideal if you need to re-install your software, suffer from a system crash or buy a new PC. Simply had to the "My Account" section on this store - or any one of our worldwide stores - to access previous orders.
Do I Need A Backup CD?
No, although some people like to receive a copy of their software on a CD which they can store indefinitely. We provide a backup CD for some applications in the store. For example, we can provide an official colour booklet and installation/backup CD for AVG and Kaspersky software ordered through the store. Some software suppliers, such as Nitro PDF and Paragon Software, will supply you directly with a backup CD if you include this with your order.
Why Are Some Prices Dynamic?
If you are based in New Zealand and you see prices in NZD, you may see a different price in your checkout than we advertise in the store. There's a good reason for this - software suppliers set their prices in USD, GBP and EUR, with NZD and other prices calculated based on the exchange rate and often between USD and NZD. Therefore some prices may be slightly cheaper or more expensive than the advertised price as the prices in the checkout are calculated, on-the-fly, from USD. This does not apply to customers in the EU, UK, US, Canada and Australia.
Why Was My Card Declined?
In most instances this will be due to fraud protection from your credit card provider. Although you have protection when you purchase goods, online, through your credit card, your company may decline a large order or an order made through an online store for the first time. If your card is declined, we suggest you speak with your card provider and/or your bank. You can also pay through PayPal, wire transfer or other payment formats.
Can I Ask For A Refund?
We strongly suggest you download and test trial software before placing your order. Trial software is provided to enable you to determine whether it's applicable for your system and meets your requirements. Once you are happy with your trial software, place an order. Digital downloadable software often cannot be refunded unless the order was placed in error. Activated software cannot be refunded as the code becomes the property of the customer and cannot be resold or reused. If you ordered in error or there is another problem with your order, contact PayPro directly for a refund.
Who Keeps Our User/Order Information?
Your transaction is between yourself and e-commerce providers PayPro. PayPro will NEVER re-use your information, pass on to a third party and will not contact you unless you contact them with a query. Your credit card information is not kept on file and is not stored by any third party. If you ordered Extended Download Insurance with your order, we retain basic information about your order on our secure server. This includes your name, email address (required to access your account), serial codes ordered and download links to your software. No-one has access to this information apart from yourself. This information is only available once you have registered your account using the email address you used to place the order.

I've already installed Windows 11 without a product key. Will this require me to re-install, or will I also get the product key separately so that I can just register the key?
Pros: question Cons: question

Hi Trevor, if you have Windows 11 installed, you simply need the license provided with the order to activate. You can, as you rightly say, just use the key provided.

Hi, is this version region-restricted, or can I activate and use it in Poland?
Pros: question Cons: question
software.pcworld.com Reply:
Windows is not region-restricted (nor is Office 2024). You can activate and use it anywhere.

does this license allow changing language?
Pros: question Cons: question
software.pcworld.com Reply:
The license won't dictate language change. Windows handles this itself. Yes, you can choose any language within Windows 11.

I purchased the Windows 11 Home version online using a very old (10+) year- old computer and got my license key for the version but when I tried to use Windows media creation tool to make my thumb drive to install Windows 11 Home on my new build which is brain dead at the moment all I got was a error code. After hours of communication with support which was great their final work around was to track down a friend with a Windows 10 or 11 computer and try to creat the thumb drive with it. Wish I had bought a version that shipped a thumb drive to your house ready to go.
Pros: Simple Payment and purchase Methology. Cons: Thumb drive creation a nightmare

Thanks Robert. Yes, creating the USB on an old old (Windows 7) PC can be tricky as it checks the system to see if it can be upgraded first. But that's nearly always a TLS issue which can be fixed. Or build it on a Windows 10 or 11 PC as you've suggested.
