I just built a new PC and need to install Windows 11. I read a few posts online and know there are ways to get it for free legally, but not sure what the best method is. Can I use the official Window...

Getting Windows 11 for free on a new computer is possible if:
- The computer comes with Windows 11 pre-installed from the manufacturer (which is common for new PCs).
- You upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 if your device meets the hardware requirements.
- You have a valid Windows 10 license, which allows you to upgrade to Windows 11 at no extra cost, provided your system meets the necessary specs.
Important notes:
- Windows 11 is generally licensed with the device, so purchasing a new PC with Windows 11 pre-installed is the easiest way to get Windows 11 for free.
- If your PC was originally running Windows 10, and it's eligible, you can upgrade to Windows 11 free of charge via Windows Update.
- Downloading or installing Windows 11 without a valid license or from unofficial sources is not legal.
