  1. Recently got new motherboard and installation of Windows...


    So, my "old" PC had Win10 Pro 1909. I recently got a new motherboard and when doing so also reinstalled Windows onto an SSD rather than the hard drive. Well, I installed Win10 Home 2004... and now I can't transfer my license. Is there a way to install Win10 Pro pre-activation so that I can transfer it? There's not really a product key that I know of for it, it's just a digital license tied to my Outlook account.

    I also still have the HDD that it used to be on with all the storage still on it. It's just gonna be a pain to install because I moved to SFF recently when getting this new motherboard.

    Any ideas?

    Edit: I'd prefer to be able to keep all my installs and whatnot, so a fresh install of Windows isn't what I'm exactly looking for.

  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.

    +1

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
