When doing a fresh install of Win11, will I lose my license and will I need to buy a new one? I cant seem to "Upgrade" from the USB and it looks like it will require me to do a custom install after deleting the old partitions
Window licenses are now tied to hardware. Make sure you install the matching version of 11 as of 10 (ie use 11 home if you had windows 10 home). It will auto-activate, you don't even have to type anything in
You should be able to transfer your license with no issue assuming you bought it from a legitimate source.
