The simple answer to your question is, YES. You can run the clean command on disk 2, it won't do anything to the other disks. Just make sure you have disk 2 selected. My guess is that it won't work, though, but worth a try.

I have the same question, why not just clean install Windows 11?

Should be fine for browsing and email.

With Windows 10 or 11 digital license activation the cheap product key only needs to work once to activate a computer for life. After it is activated, change the product key to the retail generic product key for that version of Windows and the original product key becomes completely irrelevant.

If you don't need the extra features activated in Pro then don't use them, if it isn't costing you anything more. I guess I am failing to understand something beyond what seems to be the simple solution to me. Windows 11 Home, however, will activate with the Windows 11 Pro digital license in...

I just did Windows 11 on a brand new HP laptop. Windows 11 install did not have the WiFi drivers for it, had to be loaded separately.

I would look at maybe doing a separate media player client for the big screen - something like a Raspberry Pi. The desktop computer would be the server. You can remote the Pi from the desktop computer, or use a local remote control for it.

Yes. That is what happens.

You don't need it to be associated with a Microsoft Account. As soon as Windows 11 (or 10) activates, it gets a digital license based upon the unique hardware ID of the computer, not a Microsoft Account. A Microsoft Account only gets a link to the digital license so it can be transferred to...

Not really. You can covert an OEM license to a retail license just by changing the installed product key to the generic retail product key for the edition that is installed.

No, it is not necessary.

Or buy the exact same thing from the exact same company for even less: https://keys4us.com/product/microsoft-windows-10-professional-digital-license-online-activation-retail-de/
