    Upgrade hardware my beloved 5 year old custom made Win 10 for Win 11?

    I just guessed that a 240mm cooler would fit your case. The model number or a pic of your case would help. Part List - Intel Core i7-13700K - PCPartPicker Part List - Intel Core i9-13900K - PCPartPicker

    access BIOS settings in Win 10

    I have an 8-year old computer running Win 10. I need to access the BIOS settings. It used to be the holding down the F2 key during startup would bring up the BIOS screen in Windows computers. But this no longer works. A web article listed a complicated
    series of steps leading to a reboot . . . but still no access to BIOS. Any suggestions?

    Windows 10 activation issue

    I've been a Win 10 Beta and active user for 4 or 5 years. The PC I've been working on is an i7 system I built years back. I had Win 7 on this machine until Microsoft said they would upgrade me to Win 10 for free.

    The issue is now I've installed a new SSD C: drive and used Acronis software to clone old C: drive to the new SSD. Works like a champ but Win 10 says it's not active. I've used all the suggestions through Windows activation but it just says it can't activate.
    Since I don't have a activation key because Microsoft upgraded me for free it means I have to purchase one. Not going to happen. I'm unemployed on Social Security and if I have to install a fresh operating system I will step back to Win 7. I have keys and
    software for that. I would like to just use what I've and not have to reinstall everything again. Any ideas?
