This article is a step-by-step guide to the installation of Windows 11 Pro for Workstations. I will be installing the system from scratch using a UEFI (BIOS) bootable flash drive.
1) The first step is to download the Windows 11 Pro for Workstations installer. You can download it from our catalog on the following page.
– After that, you need to write the installer to a flash drive. Recommend using the Rufus application following the instructions in our previous article.
2) Next, boot from the flash drive, setting it as the priority in UEFI (BIOS), and proceed with the installation.
– Click “Next” in the first window => Install now.
– Select the version of Windows 11 Pro for Workstations.
– Accept the terms of the license agreement.
– Since I am installing “from scratch,” I select the “Custom: Install Windows only”.
– Select the disk where you want to install the system. In our example, I have one hard drive, but you may have multiple partitions or hard drives. Select the one you want to install to.
– Wait for the installation to finish. Your PC will restart.
3) After the computer restarts, go to Windows 11 Pro for Workstations Initial Setup. Select your region and primary keyboard layout.
– Wait for the system to find and install all the latest updates.
– Set a name for your PC.
– In this example, I will configure the system for personal use. Choose the corresponding option.
– Sign in with your Microsoft account.
– You will be prompted to create a PIN for quick system access (to avoid entering your Microsoft account password).
– The next step is the privacy settings. I will uncheck all the options. You can change them according to your preferences.
– There will be a setup interaction point. In this example, I will skip this step because it is optional.
– Also, disable synchronization with OneDrive (you can enable it if you prefer).
– Wait for the desktop to load.
4) Done! I have booted into the desktop. Now you can check the system version from the “Start” menu => All apps => Scroll down to the “System” menu and open “Windows Specifications.”
5) Now, you need to activate the system. Scroll down a bit more in this menu and click “Product key and activation.”
– In this menu, you can see that the activation status is “Not activated. To activate, you need the Windows 10 Pro for Workstations product key. You can buy the key from our catalog. Fast key delivery to your email within 3 hours after payment. Guarantee and 24/7 support.
