Windows 10: I have a new to me Latitude 5590. On it I am running Windows 11. I have not been able to...

When attempting to set the PIN I make it as far as entering the pin I want. I click ok and it closes the box and nothign changes, Set Up is still there and no PIN has been set. the Fingerprint option allows me to set up but when I touch the fingerprint scanner it says "Something Went Wrong". The facial recognition option shows unavailable. When I click on it it says no compatible camera was found, when I know that isn't the case. I have updated all the drivers from both Microsoft and Dell. I have contacted Microsoft about this several times and each time it shows the service request 'closed' t

Removing Ubuntu and installing Windows 10 Pro on Dell Latitude 5590

Hi there,

I want to install and activate Windows 10 Pro on a Dell Latitude 5590 (it came with Windows 10 Pro out of the box), that currently runs only Ubuntu. Please help me doing so.

Also, if I manage to successfully activate Windows 10 Pro, will I be able to upgrade it to Windows 11 Pro for free (as it comes with 8th Gen Intel processor, along with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD, it is eligible for Windows 11 upgrade)?

 

No drive found on my internal hard disk on Dell Latitude E5430.

Hello,My laptop (Dell Latitude E5430) was working perfectly till yesterday. But yesterday night, it restarted on its own and ever since, it's stuck at this screen:



Also, inside the BIOS, no UEFI bootable hard disk drive is being listed.



The UEFI flash disk option shown above is that of my bootable pen drive with Windows 10 installation copy.I googled this issue a bit and the results were as follows:

1. one thread suggested that I should run Dell's internal diagnostics to see if there anything wrong with hard disk. I did that but every component, including the hard disk one, passed these internal test.
   
   
2. a second thread suggested that I should try to remove and reseat the hard disk. I did that following Dell's user manual.
3. another thread suggested that I should reinstall my windows 10 afresh. But when I try to do so, the windows installation wizard doesn't list any drive in the hard disk. It's as if it doesn't detect hard disk at all.
   
   

In a nutshell, while the hard disk is being detected, but none of its drives is. However, the hard disk consisted of 3 drives:

1. C: with the windows' and applications' installations,
2. D: with all of my data,
3. E: which was recovery drive.

Any troubleshooting suggestions?I'm sorry I am not able to help you guys with any logs and stuff because I don't know how to get them when I can't get my Windows to boot. I'm not even sure if this is the correct section where I should be posting this thread.. I'm just so confused right now. *cry

A few weeks ago, I had upgraded (not fresh installation) from windows 10 version 1607 to 20H2. The version 1607 installation was a clean one (from scratch, after formatting the hard disk and creating new partitions).
