Microsoft Windows 11 Home – OEM Key (1 PC)

Windows 11 Home is the consumer edition of the current generation of Windows: redesigned interface, centred Start menu, modernised window management and reinforced hardware security. This licence is OEM type and covers 1 PC.

Check compatibility before purchase

Windows 11 imposes strict hardware prerequisites: a TPM 2.0 chip, Secure Boot enabled in the UEFI and a 64-bit processor featured on Microsoft's compatibility list. This is by far the leading cause of installation blocks. Microsoft's PC Health Check tool gives you the answer in a few seconds: run it before ordering.

What the Home edition includes

• Windows 11 interface — centred Start menu, streamlined taskbar, rounded corners, customisable widgets.
• Snap layouts and virtual desktops — organise windows in a single gesture and separate work / leisure.
• Microsoft Defender — built-in antivirus, firewall and SmartScreen, updated automatically.
• Windows Hello — facial recognition, fingerprint or PIN code.
• Auto HDR and DirectStorage — improved rendering and loading times in recent games.
• Microsoft Store and built-in apps — Photos, Clipchamp, Mail, Teams, Edge.
• Family safety — screen time and content filtering for children's accounts.

OEM or Retail: the difference

An OEM licence is permanently tied to the motherboard of the first PC activated and is not transferable to another machine. A Retail licence, on the other hand, can be moved from one computer to another. Choose OEM for a workstation you do not intend to replace or rebuild.
