New Laptop Windows 11 Without Microsoft Account

When Microsoft banned computer hardware that didn't have the TPM chip and therefore would not run Windows 11, I said, That's it. Fool me once Microsoft. shame on you... What's to stop Microsoft from doing this again in the future? I began looking at alternatives and decided that running Windows 11 as a Virtual Machine (VM) inside a product called Parallels Desktop on a Mac was the way to go. I'm one who always assembled his own PC's and keeping my budget at $1000 for the box (no new monitor, keyboard, mouse, external devices) BUT, if I was going to run Windows 11 inside of my new Mac, the Mac had better be on the robust end of the spectrum. My former Macs have always had 8 to 16GB of RAM which was adequate for my usage. But since Windows 11 doesn't thrive until reaching 16GB, I decided that 32GB should be fine with this new Mac (it's perfect) Next, storage. VM's require a lot of storage space. I'm running a Windows 11 VM, Mac Sonoma (this is an additional Mac VM) and a Linux VM. My Mac now has 850GB free on a 2TB drive. Yes, get the 2TB storage! I have no storage insecurity which counts for a lot. Perhaps I'll try moving the VM's to external storage someday but I don't have resources for trying experiments now - using RAID arrays, etc. So now I have an expensive Mac (it's all relative, I know). I justify it by saying that I was going to have to buy my $1000 Windows box anyway plus I wanted the new Mac silicon. Installing Parallels Desktop and the Windows 11 VM is mostly an automated experience. Everything is fast.

I had two laptops that were no more than three years old and after the upgrade to Microsoft windows 11 they just seem to slow down. The simple fix was to put two of these drives in the two computers and then clean load Microsoft windows 11 - 64 bit The difference was unbelievable it was almost like a totally different computer and also with a new operating system. These are such a wonderful set of drives and do just fine performance and affordability

Purchased looking for to when Windows 11 becomes required. New motherboard, new CPU, and upgrade in storage. This is my new Drive C replacing an older 1TB third gen M.2. Loads quicker even with twice the capacity. Loads Lightroom and 20,000+ images much faster.

This little mic just works. I'm using it for voice typing on a Windows 11 laptop. Great.

Works great with no issues on my new HP laptop running windows 11.

My new Hp laptop with windows 11 is awesome .It boots up quickly and is fun to use.

New Windows 10 feeling!!!

Seamless integration with my Windows 11 laptop. Zoom connected to it and I was able to use my D780 for both audio and video with no problems.

The new laptop came with 15GB and after loading Windows 11 I had used 33% with no programs running. I purchased this kit to get to 32GB and after running a couple of benchmarks was also rewarded with slightly faster transfers than the Samsung the laptop came with. Good price and very fast delivery.

I can’t say enough good things about this laptop. It’s lightweight, looks amazing, and runs like a dream. After some recent misadventures with Windows 11 powered laptops and all they sleep issues, high temps, and poor battery performance this is like waking up from a bad dream. Everything just works as they say. I still think it’s crucial to run at least 16gb of ram which is why I chose this model. All in all and excellent choice for every day computing.
