I decided to upgrade an old computer that I built in 2012 to 11. I rebuilt it from the ground up with an Asus B560 motherboard, Intel i5 10400 CPU and 8GB of DDR 4 memory. I grabbed a Windows 10 hard drive from my pile and set up the BIOS to run 11. That involved changing the TPM2 from module to firmware and changing the secure boot from other OS to Windows UEFI. I took a bootable flash drive with the 11 iso file, plugged it in and fired up the system. The iso required me to do a clean install so I chose it. When it asked for a key, I put in a key from an old windows 8 disk. Everything worked. 11 is running, the activation shows activr and I can use the computer normally. BUT IT WILL NOT DOWNLOAD UPDATES. GRRRR. Since I can't buy a new 11 I will try to get another windows 10 drive from my pile, boot it up and then run the iso file from the booted hard drive. Wish me luck. Thanks microsoft, I get none of these issues from Linux. Sorry for the rant.
