I've recently built a new PC that meets the requirements for Windows 11, but I currently have Windows 10 on my old PC that isn't compatible. I keep receiving prompts to upgrade to Windows 11 for free, but since my old setup can't handle it, I want to know how I can get Windows 11 on my new build. Is there a way to install it fresh without having to go through the hassle of installing Windows 10 first?

Great news! You can install Windows 11 without entering a key during setup. Just sign into your Microsoft account from your old machine and, on your new setup, select 'I don’t have a key' when prompted. You can install it without activation, and later, you just need to link your Microsoft account to update the license from your old PC.
If you link your Windows key to your phone number, that can also help. It's a legal way to manage your keys with Microsoft, and it might make the reassignment process smoother when you switch PCs.
