does it support nvme ssds

Yes, it supports NVMe SSDs with dual M.2 slots, one of which has PCIe 4.0 x4 connectivity.

Does the motherboard actually come with Windows 11? If so what version like Home or Pro?

No motherboards DO NOT come with an operating system. I believe what you're seeing advertised is that this MOBO is windows 11 ready, meaning it is compatible with windows 11 which is not the case for all motherboards currently on the market.

The product information does not specify USB-C support.
