Dongle? You mean thumb drive I assume. If you're on a broadband internet connection, it won't take long at all. You just need to put the thumb drive that has Windows 11 installed on it into the USB port on your computer and boot up from that drive. It will do everything for you. It's not 8 hours of work to install Windows 11 on a broadband connection but it may take a lot of time to re-install all your software apps/programs that you need like Microsoft Office. Windows 11 does provide the option to install Microsoft Office 365 when you're initially installing it. You will have to pay for it after 6 months or so if you don't have a license. If you don't have the skills to install it, you can always ask someone to do it for you like Best Buy Geek Squad or a nearby computer store. Of course there's a cost for them to do it. You can also try to do it yourself. There's a lot of detailed steps on this microsoft message thread that will help you as well. Good luck.
Your version of windows 11 has reached the end of service. click to download a newer version of windows 11 to stay supported.
Can someone help me out here? After I updated my Windows software on my laptop this evening, I got a message saying "Your version of Windows has reached the end of service". This really confuses me because I'm on Windows 11 and I got a new laptop literally 2 months ago and I barely even used 10-15% of it's total memory space on my C Drive.
Does anyone know what's going on here? Does this mean I won't be able to get security updates for my Windows on my new laptop? Am I going to have to pay more money just to get Windows to work properly and stay up-to-date? I'm feeling very concerned.

2025-01-08T12:14:01+00:00 Nothing to worry about. Have you run Windows Update in Windows 11 settings? The computer should actually run Windows Update by itself after you go through the initial prompts for Windows 11 Pro. It will update everything for you. Hopefully you're on a broadband internet connection as the updates may take awhile.
