I’m upgrading my pc and my current cpu only supports windows 10

If im upgrading to an entirely new pc using the same windows 10 key should I be using a boot usb drive with windows 10 then upgrade to 11 or will I be able to just directly make a windows 11 usb boot drive and install 11 from the get go with my windows 10 key?

    You can install Win11 directly via bootable usb drive and use your win10 key to activate it.

    Make sure you link the license ti a Microsoft account, so you can use it with different hardware

    The Windows 11 installer should accept all Windows Seven license keys or better.

    You just have to install the correct version of Windows.
