Home or Pro?

Windows 11 Home — covers home use fully: every application, gaming and browsing behave identically.
Windows 11 Pro — adds BitLocker drive encryption, Remote Desktop hosting, Hyper-V and company domain join.
In practice — if you work from home and connect remotely to your own PC, you want Pro. Otherwise Home is enough.
Upgrade later — you can move from Home to Pro with an upgrade purchase, without reinstalling.

Before you buy

Windows 11 requirements. You need a 64-bit processor, TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. Most machines from 2018 onward have them, but it is worth checking first, especially on an older desktop.

Retail versus OEM. A retail licence transfers to a new computer if you change machine; an OEM licence binds permanently to the motherboard it first activated on. The type is stated on each product.

Installation needs a clean USB stick. Microsoft official Media Creation Tool builds it — at least 8 GB, and it erases whatever is on the drive.
