As spotted by Windows Central, users will now be able to buy Windows 11 Home and Windows 11 Pro licenses directly from Microsoft. Initially, users depended on USB drives for these licenses but at $139 and $200, you’ll be able to get digital licenses for Windows 11 Home and Windows Pro respectively.

With this new arrangement in place, users will now be able to build their own devices from scratch more efficiently and effectively, the same also applies to those users that may want to run the OS in a virtual environment. You should also check out our expert guide where we expound on how to install Windows 11 on a Virtual Machine.

These digital licenses are meant for devices that require a new license, of course, the device must meet the minimum requirements of Windows 11. It is also worth noting that you will require a USB drive which will allow you to perform a clean install.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
