    I accidentally deactivated my windows installation and it wont activate anymore.


    So i did a BIOS update and it asked me afterwards if i wanted to reset fTPM, it didnt say anything about windows installation tho, only that if i had bitlocker or something that i would need to backup those keys.So it booted fine but when i logged i saw the watermark with 'activate windows'.I went into registry editor to retrieve the key i was using to activate windows i upgraded from 10 to 11 and brought that key with me, but when i put that in windows it said it cant activate because of hardware changes or because it is a windows 10 key, even though i've been using windows 11 with this key

    :)

  3. Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
