Windows Windows 11 Fresh Install

You can get a Windows 11 OEM key for 200–300 rupees, which is a much better deal than doing this. I got my key from VProZone; however, they scammed me for MS Office. The Windows 11 key worked fine, though. It's better to find a reputed seller or at least someone with good reviews online.
I mean buying from third party seller for cheap is also 'illegal'

Yes, buying from third-party sellers can also be considered illegal depending on the source, but it’s important to weigh the risks involved. While the chances of malware from illegal activators might seem low, it’s still a significant risk, and securing your system from viruses and malicious software should always be a top priority. This isn’t just about morals or ethics; it’s about protecting your device and data. The key point remains: ensuring your system’s security is far more important than saving a few bucks with risky methods

It is normal human tendency to fear what they don't understand. For example, centuries ago, no-one dared to sail far away from land in the fear that they will fall off the edge of the earth if they go too far.

To each his own, I guess.

Don't wanna dwel into which one is legal or not because both are illegal. I prefer massgrave because it is a script that mimic the process of generating the genuineticket for migration from Windows 10 to 11. But you do not need to go through the whole process.

Moreover, the activation is HWID, atleast for Windows 10 and 11, so you can just re-install the OS post activation. You are free from "malware" software and your Windows is activated.

Having said that, only way to legally obtain a windows license for retail use is directly through Microsoft.

I'm planning to freshly install Windows 11 on a new NVME Drive. Last time I installed a fresh Windows was like around 2017 when I assembled my present system. Now got hold of a new 2TB NVME in the sales and I don't want to just clone the old 1TB NVME as the current install is too bloated with too many unneeded software and junk. So please post your tips and answer to some questions.

- what is the best way to go about taking all the necessary backups? AFAIK I have taken backups of my user folder any app configs
- the best way to take an full image backup of the current windows drive?
- best way to create a Win 11 boot drive (just the official one or is there a popular de-bloated one)?
- do you have a list of tasks you do after installation to make the new Windows 11 install better?
-you can download windows 10/11 directly from Microsoft website.
-use a usb 3.0 thumb drive, its one of the best ways to install windows these days.
-directly download windows 10/11 to the thumb drive using that tool you download from Microsoft.
-would suggest using windows 10 if you have an old or slow machine.
