Microsoft Windows 11 Home – OEM Key (1 PC)

Windows 11 Home is the home edition of the current Windows generation, with a redesigned interface, a centred Start menu, improved window management and stronger hardware-based security. This is an OEM licence for 1 PC.

Check your hardware first

Windows 11 has firm hardware prerequisites: a TPM 2.0 chip, Secure Boot enabled in the UEFI, and a 64-bit processor on Microsoft's compatibility list. These are the most frequent cause of blocked installations. Microsoft's PC Health Check tool tells you within seconds whether your PC qualifies, so run it before ordering.

What is in the Home edition

• The Windows 11 interface: centred Start menu, simplified taskbar, rounded corners and customisable widgets.
• Snap layouts and virtual desktops to arrange windows quickly and keep work and leisure apart.
• Microsoft Defender, with antivirus, firewall and SmartScreen, updated automatically.
• Windows Hello sign-in by face, fingerprint or PIN.
• Auto HDR and DirectStorage for better visuals and loading times in recent games.
• Microsoft Store and built-in apps such as Photos, Clipchamp, Mail, Teams and Edge.
• Family safety tools for screen time and content filtering on children's accounts.

OEM versus Retail

An OEM licence is permanently tied to the motherboard of the first PC it is activated on and is not transferable. A Retail licence can be moved between computers. OEM suits a machine you do not plan to replace or rebuild.
