[SOLVED] Should I just install Windows 10 on a new motherboard?

[emitfudd]

I don't really need any of the features of Windows 11. Instead of buying 11 for my new build, should I just purchase 10 again knowing that I can probably upgrade to 11 for free at some point if I want to?

Update: I know you can transfer Windows 10 to a new motherboard but I am keeping that motherboard active in my soon to be backup PC.

Keeping your old system/motherboard, you'll need to purchase a new license for the new PC.

Win 10, Win 11....either way.

That's what I meant, I will need to buy a new OS with the new motherboard. I am looking online and not finding anywhere to purchase 11. Probably best to order 10 again and make sure everything in the new build is compatible with 11.

Right.
I don't think they have a Win 11 license for individual purchase yet,

Upgrade a WIn 10 system, yes.
Purchase, not yet.
