How to Download, Install, and Activate Windows 11 Professional
Upgrading to Windows 11 Professional brings you cutting-edge features such as enhanced security, organization tools, and smoother performance for work and personal use. In this guide, we’ll walk you through every step—from system checks to installation and activation using your Vaneyo license—so you can enjoy a hassle-free setup.
1. Prepare Your PC for a Clean Install
Backup your data: Save important files to an external drive or cloud storage (OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.).
Note your programs: Make a list of essential applications and product keys—you’ll reinstall them later.
Check compatibility: Ensure your PC meets Windows 11 requirements (UEFI with Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage).
Download essential drivers: Especially for Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or graphics, so you'll remain connected post-install.
2. Create Windows 11 Installation Media
When you purchase a license from Vaneyo (Buy Windows 11 Pro →), we’ll send you the official Microsoft link to download the ISO or Media Creation Tool.
Options:
Media Creation Tool: Run it, choose Create installation media, pick language and edition, and use an 8 GB+ USB to make bootable media.
Rufus (advanced): Use Rufus for more customization, but remember it’s third-party and not officially supported by Microsoft
3. Install Windows 11 Professional (Clean Install)
Insert the USB drive and restart your PC.
Enter BIOS/UEFI (press F2, F12, Del, or Esc) and set USB as the primary boot device.
Boot from the USB, select language and keyboard format, and click Install Now.
Choose Windows 11 Professional when prompted (make sure it matches your license).
Accept the license terms.
Select Custom: Install Windows only (advanced).
On the drive screen, delete existing partitions (e.g. “Drive 0”) to create unallocated space.
Select the unallocated space and click Next. Windows will handle partition setup and installation.
After installation, complete the Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE): set region, keyboard, Wi-Fi, account, privacy, and PIN
4. Post-Installation Setup
Install Windows updates: Go to Settings > Windows Update to get the latest fixes.
Install missing drivers: Visit Settings > Optional updates, then Driver updates, or use your device manufacturer’s site.
Activate Windows: Go to Settings > System > Activation, click Change product key, and enter your Vaneyo license to ensure permanent activation.
