  1. Solved Windows 11 unable to activate after upgrading Motherboard & CPU

    Welp. I did a web chat with a Microsoft Support agent and he got my license activated in about 20 minutes. I can't quite make out how he did it though. This man remoted into my computer and was working so fast he was doing like 5 different things at once. From what I could make out he restarted...
  2. Solved Windows 11 unable to activate after upgrading Motherboard & CPU

    Where do you find their support number? I’m in Australia so do they have support numbers for different regions?
  3. Solved Windows 11 unable to activate after upgrading Motherboard & CPU

    It is a licence upgrade from originally from Windows 7 back in 2012. So what did you end up doing in the end. Just handed in the towel and bought a new license?

    Yesterday I made some upgrades to my rig including changing the motherboard, CPU, RAM, cooler and PSU (I figured only the first two are important). When I got on today I noticed the Activate Windows watermark and when checking my activation settings I get the error: Windows reported that the...
  5. Solved Computer suddenly not detecting windows install on new SSD

    This fixed it! Disk Genius clearly shows a second Windows Boot Manager entry for the new drive so I have no idea why it still won't show in the BIOS, but creating a new one like you showed seems to have worked. I even shut down my PC a couple of times to see if it continues to stay functional...
  6. Solved Computer suddenly not detecting windows install on new SSD

    Here you go. 'Sata SSD' is the old drive and 'Boot Drive (NVME)' is the new one.
  8. Solved Computer suddenly not detecting windows install on new SSD

    Thanks for the quick reply. The old drive is a SATA and the new one is an NVME. The SATA was not removed or reseated when I installed the NVME. I cloned the install to the NVME drive using Partition Wizard. I checked and the NVME drive isn't appearing in the boot menu either. I'm not sure what...
  9. Solved Computer suddenly not detecting windows install on new SSD

    About a week ago I got a new SSD and transferred my windows 11 install to it. Everything went smoothly and a few days later I left for a week for Christmas. Turned my computer off when I left obviously. When I got back and booted my PC again I noticed it had booted Windows off my old install on...
