  1. Some keys not working on Windows 11


    Hello! Very recently, some of my keyboard keys just randomly start and stop working specifically the 9, o, l, and . key and I'm unsure why. I tried going to device manager and uninstalling the keyboard, but after restarting the pc it didn't seem to fix the issue. I've had this keyboard since 2020 and it's likely that it's time to get a new one, but I want to make sure it isn't anything else before I throw it out. All other keys work perfectly fine, and attempts to clean under the specific keys did not fix the issue. Any answer would be appreciated, as I did not enjoy having to copy and paste

    :)

    windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
