Also, is windows pro or home a better option? I plan on using this pc mostly for gaming, and some schooling.

This is the only website you should download WIndows 11 from:

 

https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

 

And you can get a guaranteed legit license here.

 

Don't buy keys from suspiciously cheap websites. Those are either stolen, made with keygens, or intended for the developing world.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

The only somewhat legal place to get a cheaper key is thru like Newegg or Amazon and its an OEM key. These tend to be tied to hardware more specifically the motherboard. These are pretty much the keys that Dell and HP use. The only other downside from being tied to hardware is that you get 0 Microsoft phone support, as the OEM is suppose to provide the support and you're technically the OEM if you use an OEM key.  Im not sure what OEM key run at currently but I know they can be a bit cheaper. I think I seen Windows 10 Home OEM for like $80 back in the day. 

 

The "Cheap" keys come from grey market sites. Some of the keys are semi legit, but there are instances where people will purchase keys with stolen credit cards and sell them on these sties. With the grey market you can be potentially supporting criminal activity and Microsoft might decide to blacklist the key at any time. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
