  1. Purchasing Win 11 for another computer


    If I purchase Win11 via the Microsoft store, is that license tied to MY MS account?I need to install the OS on another computer and need to purchase a copy.I'm clueless concerning how the licensing works out currently.Or, should I have "them" purchase it thru their MS account?Or, will just be assigned to the hardware? and I'm worried about nothing?The other computer will only use a local account.I just don't want any ties to my account!Thanks for your time!

    :)

  3. Network between Win 10 and Win 11 computers

    I had 2 Win 10 computers that talked to each other fine. Through Windows Explorer I was able to see and manipulate files one the other.

    Now that one of the computers is Win 11, I can't see the other either direction. The target folders are all shared with full control permission.

    When Win 11 looks for Win 10 I get a "can't access location" error. When Win 10 looks for Win 11, I get a log I'm requirement looking for ID an PW. (FWIW, my Win 11 computer makes me enter a PIN when I log in. I'd love to bypass that but can't figure how.)

    Also FWIW, I've shut off firewall to see if Win 11 can reach Win 10 but still "can't access".

    Suggestions?

    Thanks.
