Hi. I want to install Windows 11 on this computer using this torrent: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=59035057
Which edition should I install? STD, DLA or OEM?
Does the torrent include a Key Generator to activate Windows 11?
Here's my computer specs:
Gigabyte motherboard GA-880GA-UD3H
Processor AMD Phenom II x4 965 Processor, 3400 Mhz, 4 Cores
16 GB Memory
1 TB SSD
Video card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 2GB RAM
Thanks for helping.

Standard is if you have a legitimate Windows key, DLA for a pirated version (you'll probably have to be online), and OEM if you have a brand name computer like Dell, one as opposed to something you built out of your hand.
If you don't have a key, your best bet is DLA.
You shouldn't need to worry about a key if you select DLA.
EDIT: You can hunt for a key for a good price online. They are known to exist and you probably don't have to worry about activation. I don't peddle a vendor because it's probably that this forum doesn't welcome such an action, so just do it yourself.
In US dollar figures, they are probably just two digits at most.

So I plan to install as DLA, so they have a free key generator there? That way I don't have to pay $20 to $80 for a key.

I never had to deal with a single key issue when installing.
Your image should have an "enter it later" feature or something similar. Really, you don't have to enter the key.
So yeah, that's what you choose. You just have to have an Internet connection unless the image says it's VLK, in which case, you don't have to have an Internet connection.

I don't recommend downloading operating systems from a torrent site. You can get Windows 11 for free from Microsoft's website.
To activate, you can use something like KMSPico.

I see that KMSPico only activate up to Windows 10, not the current Windows 11.

You can also use KMS_VL_ALL.
I'm too lazy to link it, but you might be able to find it using the search term.
And there is nothing wrong with downloading operating systems from a torrent site if you trust the source, but you can do the same thing either way, so what AncientRome says, I guess.
EDIT: Go here to find more: https://forums.mydigitallife.net although it's not a pirate site, so if you do ask questions, don't say that you're pirating.

I put the Widows 11 intall program into a USB drive, and plug onto USB Port. I have 2 SSD and 2 HDD on the computer so I just only plug the 1 TB SSD onto the motherboard to safely install Windows into that SSD first. Somehow the BIOS can't start the USB drive with Windows on it to start installing. I get an error message about "CompID code ##" at BIOS start up. I have BIOS from 2010. Is that the problem? Do I need to flash the BIOS? Thanks for helping.
Do I select USB-HDD as first boot?
It shows 4 hard drives after I have problem with installing from USB drive and put back my computer to use it then ask questions here.
Do I put first the "Bootable Add-In Cards"?

I would.
EDIT: I just defeated my own credibility. I really don't know.
Please answer this question for me, folks.

Unfortunately, the system that you're trying to install Windows 11 on is far too old. You need to get rid of that system and you need a new machine. If you don't know what to do then I would suggest going to the shop and buying a new one or just buy one online. It's your motherboard that's the problem it's far too old and out of date. Win11 simply won't go on that system and I wouldn't waste your time with it.
Just either get to a shop and buy a Win11 compatible system or just shop online and get a new one there...
You can tell by looking at your Bios menus that it's no good, even if you flashed it it still would be no good. 2010 is quite some time ago now and you'll find that system is well out of date. I'm not sure why you're trying to install Win11 on a system like that, maybe you should have left it how it was as it's designed for Windows 7 it says so on the gigabyte website.
