### What this is

General Windows prep **before** the guide for your purchased software.

Do this manual first → then your **product** guide and loader.\
If anything **conflicts** — the product guide wins.

Product guide and loader: site account → your purchase → **INSTRUCTION AND LOADER** (also on the pCloud page you may have come from).

You need **genuine Windows 10/11 Pro**. Home / lite / modified builds almost never work.
