    Windows 11 Windows key not working


    Hi there. My windows key does not like to work anymore for opening up the menu. I can however use shortcuts such as win+r. The only way to fix this is by restarting my pc. Is there a way to fix this or should I reinstall windows and keep all my files using the installation media tool? And if I do, will I keep ALL of my files? I really would just want to reinstall windows.

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    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?
