A retail Windows license isn't the same as an enterprise Windows license. Retails Windows licenses started with ads for OneDrive and Office in Settings, but now that they're reverting to their old, shameless ways, they're putting ads everywhere else too for retail users.

With a Windows Enterprise license, all of the ads can be turned off, or at least that was the practice.

It's Windows 11 Pro. How do I buy an enterprise license?

That is what I thought. "Contact Sales". You can't without a contract. So advert-ridden Windows is unavoidable for consumers even if they paid $200.
