    Why did my device update to windows 11 Pro from Home and now my password doesn't work the...


    I purchased the windows 11 home USB from Best buy after not being allowed by windows servers to download and install windows for about 8 years... I used Mac instead for a while... Now I'm getting updates from the Microsoft servers... I check through Wireshark and verified from AI and the server IP address that the network being used to update my machines was over port 80... So today I log in to download VLC and a couple items to watch bluray because I'm sick and I get the windows 11 Pro update after it telling me that I needed more updates even though... I had the latest update of 23h2 home on

    :)

    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.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

  3. Upgrade to windows 10. Current password doesn t work

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will assist you with this.

    Please let us know

    • Are you logged in with a local account or Microsoft account?
    • Have you tried typing the password with On-Screen keyboard?
    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: On-Screen Keyboard

    You may use the accessibility options to pop open a on-screen keyboard and type the password from there to make sure you are typing the correct password.

    If the issue persists,

    Step 2:

    If you see your email address listed there, it must be a Microsoft account. You will be able to reset the password and log in if your PC is connected to internet.

    Refer,

    Hope this information was helpful.
