What is Microsoft Windows 11 Pro DVD OS

Microsoft Windows 11 Pro DVD OS is the professional version of the Windows 11 operating system, released on DVD and tailored for businesses and professionals. It includes all the features of Windows 11 Home and exclusive advanced features such as enhanced security through BitLocker, business management tools, Hyper-V for virtualization, and support for domain connectivity and Windows Sandbox. These additional features enhance administrative security and performance for professional environments.

If you want to experience this advanced system, the installation involves making sure your computer meets the system requirements, booting from the DVD, and then following the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. If you don't know how to install and set up, you can refer to this post for detailed steps.

Check your PC for Windows 11 installation

To check whether your PC can run Windows 11 or not, you can download the PC Health Check tool to scan your computer.

Step 1. Go to the Microsoft official website and download the APP.

Step 2. Install and open it. Click "Check now" in the main interface.

Step 3. If your computer is eligible, you will see a message that says "This PC can run Windows 11" you can directly upgrade to Windows 11 and enjoy it.

You will see a message that says "This PC doesn't presently satisfy Windows 11 system requirements" if your computer isn't ready, though. You can also choose "show all results" to see which functions you can't get to. We'll show you how to fix "system drive space not sufficient for Windows 11" and "MBR disk data safe conversion" here.

1. Fix system space insufficient

If your C drive doesn’t have sufficient space, the check tool will show you. You can open Disk Management to check if your disk has unallocated space or not. If it has, and it’s right behind the C drive, you can extend the volume of the C drive to extend it. If it’s not in the right location, you can choose AOMEI Partition Assistant to merge nonadjacent unallocated space to your C drive.

It is a disk and partition manager that is compatible with Windows 11/10/8/8.1/7 system. The “Merge Partition” function can merge two spaces into one to extend the target partition, and the operation is very simple.

AOMEI Partition Assistant

The Best Windows Disk Partition Manager and PC Optimizer

Step 1. Download and open AOMEI Partition Assistant, right-click the partition you need to merge and choose “Advanced” and select “Merge Partition”.

Step 2. Choose the partition or space that you need to be merged and click OK.

Step 3. In the main interface, after confirming the operation, click Apply and Proceed to commit it.

If your system disk lacks unallocated space but has many partitions, and another partition has enough space, you may use the "Allocate Free Space" function to directly add space from that drive to your C drive.

Step 1. Open AOMEI Partition Assistant and you will see enough free space on drive D. Right-click it and choose the button "Allocate Free Space".

Step 2. The following picture will show up. It will give you the detail. Choose the size and destination drive you want.

Step 3. Please click "Apply" to commit. After that, another window will show up. Please select "Proceed". The picture below shows all your operations are finished.

Tip: You can also use the "App Mover" feature to change the locations of some large programs.

2. Convert MBR system disk to GPT

Because Windows 11 needs UEFI boot mode, if the system disk is still an MBR partition scheme, you can use the “Convert to GPT” feature to safely convert to GPT. Just make sure your computer supports UEFI.

Step 1. Launch AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional. Right-click the system disk and choose “Convert to GPT”.

Step 2. Click “OK” to confirm your operation.

Step 3. Click on “Apply” to commit the pending operation.

After successfully converting MBR to GPT, you can change BIOS to UEFI.

It is strongly recommended to get Windows 11 Pro from Microsoft official website. If you can't get Windows 11 Pro from the official sites, you can get it from other websites as well. However, you should be careful to avoid malware and other security risks when you get from third-party websites, though.

Step-by-Step Guide
