The key should remain in the uefi bios whatever you do (except bricking the bios or updating it with a bad one). You should have contacted the vendor because a bios update on a system with a MSDM should still contain the MSDM. If it sill existed then MAS would not have stopped working. Win 7 and 8.1 keys still work when directly used on the win 10/11 install. MAS will work in most circumstances and when not just go the MAS discord server and support channel.
My PC needs a cleanup, I'm in beta version a year ago, in main pc, and it's buggy. (I know I shouldn't install on the main pc!, But I'm stubborn, I know ) And I would like to install the 23h2, so as not to install the 22h2 again. In this case, I will wait for "Home" consumer ISO, or install 22h2 and upgrade after.
23H2 is the same as 22H2 it only has a small update installed/integrated to bump it to 23H2. You can use UUP dump for creating the desired ISO or download the 22631.2361 23H2 ISO from here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-11-svf-repository.83748/page-14#post-1807625 (if your language is available)
Afaik, just bond your microsoft account to your windows 7 and the activation will remain on a new install, as soon as you login in your ms account.
Hi everyone. I'm on build 22635.2486 and I think there's an undocumented (but welcome) change in File Explorer. I have a folder containing many movies (hundreds of gigabytes) and I sort them by date. Before this build (could be on 22631.2361, I can't recall exactly), opening this folder took a long time, longer than when this computer was on Windows 10. Sometimes the loading will fail, resulting in 'this folder is empty'. I have to press F5 to begin the loading again. On 22635.2486, opening the folder displays the content instantly but sorted by name. Then the spinning circle on the tab will begin and my movies will be sorted by date. The overall process is much faster. The same thing is observed on a folder with many photos. If you sort them by date, now the contents of the folder will load instantly before the sorting begins.
- Upgrade from Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 to Windows 10 / 11 won't give you a digital license, doesn't matter which key is installed. - Also, now you can not use your Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 genuine key to activate Windows 10 / 11, it's also blocked. Tested and confirmed.
I didn't do anything except BIOS update, if anything goes wrong during the process then BIOS itself won't be updated & verified as per the process design. And it's not a laptop/notebook, a desktop board, no win key is embedded inside it like you said, and MSI board has this issue since last couple of yrs , i.e. activation lost after BIOS update, search Reddit or google it, and you'll know. Earlier, Windows activated via 'I changed my H/W" option but this time, after MSFT blocked the path, it won't. Neither via the key itself, nor any activation id can be generated via the installation id by MSFT CC executive over phone support. Like I said, tried all these three options. So the only remaining option left is install Win8.1 with my retail key & then check whether the free upgrade path still issue a digital token for Win10/11 @Windows_Addict further confirms that it won't Contacted MSI but they did absolutely nothing except saying that for activation-related issues contact MSFT. As I said in my earlier comment, I already tried my Win 8.1 Key on Win11, it didn't work, didn't try during fresh installation but as @Windows_Addict says, it won't Do you have anything substantial for this claim?
Question from uup dump for build 22621.1 and when click right option for all files then in list bottom is winre.wim how to integrate when create install.wim
