Windows 11 is a free upgrade, so the version sold directly to the market is either a download version or an OEM, but Microsoft has now launched a physical retail box for its new operating system As Luke Blevins found on twitter, best buy is now selling retail boxes containing windows 11, seven months after the official launch of the operating system. You can see the packaging in the following picture:
The design element of the color package retail version of windows 11 is actually the desktop wallpaper of the operating system. The background of the home version of windows 11 is light, while the background of the professional version is dark. The former sells for $139.99 and the latter for $199.99. These prices are exactly the same as windows 10 home edition and professional edition respectively. There is a USB flash drive in the color bag, which contains the installation and activation key.
Most people may not go through the tedious process of installing through physical media, but the option of installing windows in this way has existed for many years, and it is clear that there is still a market. It's worth noting that the cost of obtaining a valid license digitally is the same as that of purchasing physical media, but the differences you get from the latter include a free USB flash drive and a beautiful retail package that can be used as a souvenir.
