I'm in the process of building a new PC with a Ryzen 5 7600X and a Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB. I have everything sorted out except for which version of Windows I should get. Any suggestions on where to buy it and whether I need a specific version?

The easiest way to get Windows is straight from Microsoft. But don’t worry, you don’t have to buy it right away. You can use the Windows Media Installer to create a bootable USB drive, which lets you install Windows. After installation, you can redeem your purchase from Microsoft. If you don't need Windows 11 Pro, just go for the Home version; it's usually sufficient for most users.
Do I need a flash drive for that? I thought I could just buy a code to enter when I first start the PC.
