Windows 11 Home is Microsoft's operating system for everyday use, such as daily work, watching videos and entertainment. It is aimed at users who are not heavy users and do not need it for business purposes.
It has a redesigned look compared with Windows 10. The Start menu is centered instead of on the left, and all windows have rounded edges. Microsoft positions it as a safer, more performant and simple-to-use version of Windows.
It is sold as a retail product key. Install it from Microsoft's Windows 11 software download page. Windows 11 Home requires an internet connection and a Microsoft account to complete device setup on first use.
