    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    Windows edition doesn't match while activating after motherboard change??

    I recently got the motherboard change but did a factory reset so now the windows is not activating again. I tried troubleshoot and selected the option " i recently got a hardware change" but after that a window pop ups that the window editions doesn't match with the previous device so it is not activating.
