Should I set up my new computer for "Personal Use" or "School/Work Use" when installing Windows?


When installing Windows 10/11 on a computer you purchased from the NC State TechDen or Bookstore, it will give you the option to either set up your computer and account for "Personal Use" or "School/Work Use."

Always select "Personal Use"

Windows computers purchased from the NC State TechDen/Bookstore should always be set up selecting the "Personal Use" option. This will still allow you to use all other software and services normally provided by NC State.
