I guess my original post didn't make few things very clear. (1) First this Win-11 for workstation is on an NVMe 512 GB as a boot drive & it does not have any partitions or data & I am going to keep it that way because I have 1 more 512 GB NVMe to clone the boot drive & keep it as a back up...

The Dell workstation came with Win-11 already installed on it & I paid them for it. It is Win-11 ( Workstation ) edition. So can I go to MS site & download the iso & put it on a USB stick & install & would it be automatically activated ? Also, does MS download site has Win-11 ( Workstation )...

Since this Dell PC Came with Win-11 preinstalled, where would I get the key for activation if I download the ISO from MS site ?

Where will I get Win-11 since Dell has not given me anything like a Win-11 disc or image etc ?

Thank You. I asked them not to install McAfee. I will find out once I get the system in few days.

First, thank you for an exhaustive answer. I enjoyed reading it twice & will again. You are absolutely right about 4 partitions. I read about it on this forum from @zbook also. Lots of great advice. I have never used images but always keep two or more clones to keep things simple but costs...

Thank You so much Ghot. I really appreciate the time you take to answer & post images.
