how to get an original windows 11 pro or home DVD, in original packaging ?

Hi ernstritoper,

Microsoft does not make Windows 10 or 11 DVD's they only supply Windows 10 and 11 on a USB flash drive, so if you are having problems after installing Windows from a DVD, so the DVD's may be corrupt, whoever created the DVD did not do a good job.

Yes, you are correct, the Windows installation files will fit onto a dual layer 8.5GB DVD, but not onto a standard DVD, which has a writable area of 4.35GB and the problem is usually whoever creates those DVD's overburns a 4.7Gb DVD

If you need to re-install Windows, then please create your own bootable USB and use that to clean install Windows.

I assume they are not from microsoft ! that windows should not fit on a dvd is not correct, there are dvds with 8.5 GB! the kit from the download doesn't work at all here in austria, i think i've done it 100 times, as soon as the windows is installed the computer restarts when you enter you have no internet connection! Unfortunately, the program is already being manipulated by the restart! You can tell by the fact that as soon as you have access to the computer, the ransomware protection is activated and the hard drive on which Windows is installed is also blocked! unauthorized attempts to change it come immediately, windows shows it! what good does it do if they write themselves in temp files and when you restart you have all that **** on it! so much for the windows installation USB stick. nothing is easier to manipulate than a usb stick! Why are all computers with Windows 11-S here in Austria unpacked from the original packaging at Media Markt and made ready for use (with a virus?), but not with the Apple computer???? According to information from a media market seller! If you don't wake up, Microsoft can't help you anymore, you now have a super windows 11, but you save on the dvd! sad but true !!!

Hi ernstritoper,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Windows 11 media does not fit on a standard DVD and most of the Windows 11 DVD's sold online are just created by the seller, they are not genuine, because Microsoft only provide Windows 11 on a USB flash drive, and only in some countries.

Windows 11 uses digital licensing and the only place that you are guaranteed you are buying a genuine licence is for Microsoft onlline, there are many websites selling non-genuine versions of Windows and volume licences.

With regards to the actual Windows 11 Disk, you create that by purchasing a blank 8GB USB flash drive and creating the installation media on that using the Media Creation Tool from this link.
