Non-bootable key
This item is not recognized by my computer and therefore not bootable and LDLC wants nothing to do with taking back the product which is useless... seeing the comments I see that I'm not the only one in this case... thank you LDLC for the loss of 170€ + the cost of going (100€) to a pro to install windows with another key than yours...
Very disappointed with LDLC. To flee, in case of problems there is no customer service

Too expensive - forced purchase
Unfortunately it's not LDLC's fault, but it's a shame to have to pay so much for your operating system when you're not geek enough to switch to Linux. The product is over-packaged, with a small USB key crammed into a large box with cardboard and useless paper. Be careful when installing, you have to uncheck everything to avoid being spammed.

Perfect, practical
Intended for the construction of a new PC for image processing; I greatly appreciated having been able to recover the information from the previous Windows version.

Win 11
I received my order very quickly and very well packaged. For my part the key was not compatible I had to take one of my usb keys to install Windows on my PC that's why I only put four stars.

Bof bof Microsoft
The USB key is faulty. Which is a shame for a Microsoft product. Fortunately, the product key is still valid!

Too easy when you're on your own!
Mr Microsoft, you make me sh....suer!
The USB key is unusable for a new installation if the BIOS is incorrectly set (or for some other reason I don't understand).
Fortunately, there's R.U.F.U.S. I'd rather have given them my money!
In fact, only the little card with the serial number is of any use, and I'm going to recycle the USB key. But it's a waste of money. SAVE THE PLANET !!!!
Otherwise, once installed, it works.... even if it's increasingly intrusive. Which is a bit annoying when you see how much it costs.Review automatically translated -

Perfect for the family and the latest addition to the family, Windows 11 is a nugget that may still confuse users of Windows 10. Get used to it.

USB boot not working
A little disappointed as I have always bought from ldlc and the service was more help available on the internet but if you only have one pc it is impossible to recreate usb boot so the key does not start, go to a technician.

High-performance
Good score, because Win 11, although different from its predecessor W10, seems reliable and high-performing. Regular updates

Shameful
Bootable USB key that won't boot because it's incorrectly formatted by Microsoft. If you set up a new machine, you're completely stuck. Like others, I had to download Windows 11 from another PC to make a proper bootable USB stick myself. Incredible considering the price....

key unusable ! licence ok
the key is not bootable uefi so it's impossible to install it, you have to download the iso from microsoft and create a bootable uefi usb key (with rufus for example).

A bootable USB key ... that doesn't boot
It's all in the title ... The USB key is not usable for a first installation because UEFI requires a FAT32 format for the USB, and the key is in exFAT.

Microsoft is laughing at us...
Nothing to complain about with LDLC, fast delivery.
However, regarding Microsoft...
Windows 11 requires the UEFI/Fat 32 format to be installed, this is a mandatory hardware requirement.
The USB key supplied by Microsoft was in CSM/exFat format for older versions of Windows...
As a result, it was impossible to install the OS on a new configuration...
To conclude: you buy a key to install your new OS but Microsoft sells you a key that is natively incompatible with this OS...
You have to go through Rufus with a W11 ISO... Fortunately, the license key works.Review automatically translated -

At the door before going out the window
Good start, everything is well presented in the box except that the key will never be recognised by the bloody Nuc without drivers.
Short trip to Conflan (LDLC shop) very nice staff who noticed the problem and remedied it by
recording an image of win11 on another key.
That plus an incomplete nuc without an internet connection driver is to despair of modernity...
Nextime I crunch the Apple it's better than going through the windowReview automatically translated -

Unfortunately, the pc didn't detect the key so the key is unusable...apparently this is a problem that several people have had.

Very simple and quick installation
I was a bit sceptical about installing windows myself, but in the end the installation was very quick and easy. The PC booted on the USB key all by itself and all you have to do is let yourself be guided

easy installation if you activate a wireless access point on your phone
Hello,
I received the package and the USB key was well recognized after the first insertion and the first boot.
I have to say that I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the quality of the service. I have to say that I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the quality of the service I received.
Apart from this detail, everything went very smoothly: you just have to let yourself be guided and discover the new features of WIndows 11. No problems occurred after installing the updates and not so much disorientation compared to Windows 10.Review automatically translated -

To be seen in time.
- Windows is becoming more and more simplified (a bit too much I think) but also limited.
- It seems to be more stable for the moment, but still changes some of its interface ... pffff ...!
Besides, I think it's a shame to have lost the ergonomics of Windows 7/10. But globally, if you go from Windows 7/8/10 to this one, well you are not lost.
- No Microsoft account required at installation unlike some laptops, but for how long?
In short, it's Windows.Review automatically translated -

Internet connection (almost) mandatory during installation!
During the installation phase, an internet connection to create or activate a Microsoft account becomes mandatory.
BUT how can you connect to the internet when the drivers are not yet installed?
Which genius had this stupid idea at Microsoft?
Fortunately, if you are stuck like me, it is (still) possible, by cunning, to skip this step during the installation and then, after installing the ethernet and/or wifi drivers, connect to link your computer to a Microsoft account - if you really want to.
Procedures to skip the registration: search for "windows 11 installation without a microsoft account".
For the rest, it's windows 11 and you still can't place the taskbar anywhere but at the bottom of the screen.Review automatically translated -

CLEAR
Received, installed and nothing to report. But really it's a shame to have lost the ergonomics of Windows 7.
