- 11 Pro for Workstations v. 25H2 build 26200.9278
Hallo folks. I recently purchased Windows 11 Pro for Workstations off Microsoft for a new build (from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/d/windows-11-pro-for-workstations/dg7gmgf0kr4m) and, although I experienced some glitches, eventually managed to complete the buy. Immediately after I was shown a page containing a product key, which I fortuitously copied to a text file. I say fortuitously, because when I clicked away from the page, I could not get back to it for love nor money. It is now more than 48 hours later, and I have still not received a confirmation email with my product key, invoice or download link. I do have a multi-edition ISO which I will burn to USB with Rufus, so I anticipate that I will be able to install the OS when the time comes, but I expected better from Microsoft. I have been unable to contact MS support (I'm in Scotland) and feel slightly left out in the cold. Is there a way I can chase up a confirmation email?

Non sequitur: I have a Windows 95 VM set up *exactly* the way my long-departed Pentium 120 machine had been in 1995 - same wallpaper, 1024 x 768 resolution, Doom, Encarta 95, Office 95 and Netscape Navigator. It tickles me pink. Have magnanimously decided to run with 512MB of RAM instead of the measly 32MB of the original. The little things in life do matter.

Originally bought for my youngest quine to use at university, but her path is unwinding in a different direction, so I've duly snaffled it.

My labour of love, though I suspect she'll need to be euthanised soon. Still keeping her bang up-to-date and backed up, but the age is starting to show.
