I'm building a new desktop for myself from scratch.
Motherboard, CPU, Memory, SSD, case and video card.
I know I need to ENABLE TPM 2.0 in BIOS of the Gigabyte Aorus B560M Pro motherboard.
I just made a bootable Windows 11 install USB from Microsoft.
I have a never installed Win10 OEM disk with code that I was planning to use on the Windows 11 install from USB.
Questions:
1. Do I need to install Windows 10 OEM disk first with Lic Code then later upgrade to Windows 11
OR
Can I install Windows 11 from USB and enter the Windows 10 OEM Lic Code when asked during the Windows 11 install?
What do you suggest or think is the best way for me to install Win11on the new box?
Thank you
