@BarryGuff The partial key shown being the same is not a problem. This is a generic key used to load Windows and expects later activation via your account information on Microsoft servers. Here is an article that describes the generic Windows Keys: Generic Product Keys to Install or Upgrade...

From an elevated Command Prompt, (Run as Administrator), execute the following command: slmgr /dli After execution, a pop-up dialog box will show you exactly the type of license you have. For example, my result is attached. Depending on what your result states, you can then choose which...

Am I missing something here? Why not use Phone Link (Link to Windows)? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sync-across-your-devices?msockid=06e4d5c9c7e46e871cc2c0eec6b36f7a

...and there is no docking station involved, correct?...

As far as the two separate bands, they appear in your post #7 above. Channel 1 is the 2.4Ghz band and the Channel 44 is the 5Ghz band.

Do you have access to your router settings? The reason that I ask is because when Spectrum told you that "your laptop will automatically connect to the best option", what they really meant was that the device (your laptop) would make a choice of the two Wi-Fi bands provided by your router...

From what I can see in your post, your signal strength levels for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands are good. I do not usually see any "connection challenges" until the strength drops to more than -60dB. Your laptop appears to be connected to the 2.4 Ghz signal on channel 1 at -40dB which is very...

Yes, I tried this very test on my setup. Works well. I believe that the only time the psmounterex.sys comes into play is when one wishes to mount and browse a backup image. Others on this thread may know more, however, and I invite their input. Truth-in-lending statement: My version is an old...

Just ran across this story. It seems pertinent to this thread--- https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-confirms-backup-failures-caused-by-vulnerable-driver-block/

I would suggest that you take a look at the RF spectrum in your environment using a tool such as WiFi Analyzer. See the Microsoft Store--> WiFi Analyzer - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store Since you used a WiFi booster at one time, this seems to suggest that your overall...

Hi, Before looking into anything else, I have to let you know that running Win 11 Pro with only 8 Gigs of RAM seems somewhat challenging. When did you build this rig? IMHO, I would recommend a minimum RAM of 16 Gig for the OS used. Also, be sure to go into the network adapter settings and...

I remembered another thread similar to this topic. Perhaps there is a clue here: MS server rejects Win Pro Licence We Found Win 11 Home digital Licence for this device running Win 11 Pro

I had this happen to me a while back. I went into the settings in Phone Link under Devices and used the "more" menu (3 ...'s) to Remove the unwanted device.

A couple of weeks ago I began wondering about whether I should have an additional local copy of my OneDrive folder which is currently syncing to the cloud. (As background, I had installed and begun using FreeFileSync last year for other things on my PC.) So, with a little help from Copilot, I...

You started this thread by mentioning that your Nvidia APP was a problem. I think that your CPU has internal graphics capabilities. As a troubleshooting step, try removing your graphics card and running on the built-in UHD graphics of the CPU to see if there are any differences in overall...
