Windows 11

My husband gave me his older ThinkPad with Windows 11 installed after my ThinkPad broke down. I have been using his, signed in to his Microsoft account. I recently tried switching to my MS account so I could save files to my Onedrive instead of his, but in doing that, I see I have to set the PC up again to access my own files (not just from Onedrive, but from somewhere else). This was so confusing to me that I gave up and decided to keep using his account. I wish I could get help with this seemingly intricate process, too.But in the meantime, I set the PC up so either of us can log in, but nowView the full article

Hello, I have a problem. I can't use my Windows 10 Pro key, which I had used once before, on my new motherboard. I upgraded from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 before changing my motherboard, and now I have a new motherboard. I still have the key, but when I enter it, it says it couldn't be activated. Is this because I am on Windows 11, because my old motherboard is still linked to my account, or because my key has become unusable? I don't have the money to buy a new Windows, so I want to use my existing Windows again. Is there a solution to this?View the full article

Hi,I have bought a new PC and on my old PC when I check the license status it says "Activated using a digital license" it is a windows 11 Home edition. I have installed home on my new PC and logged in with my microsoft account and now I can see both PCs in linked devices. I tried removing my old device by unlinking it. But it's still not activated on my new PC. It says Error code: 0x800704CF. I tried Troubleshoot and it says "we weren't able to activate windows on this device". Can you help me deactivate or remove the license from my old PC so I can use it on my new PC instead?View the full article

New Win 11 Home Ver 24H2 PC built Jan 2025 by CPU Solutions in Madison WI. I was online with a Microsoft tech using the chat option and they were unable to get me connected to my Western Digital (WD) MyCloud network drive. The drive is connected via ethernet to my LinkSys router. I have never had a problem connecting automatically/seamlessly on my old Win 10 PC, nor on a Dell laptop I upgraded from Win 10 to Win 11 a few months ago. I used the WD website to verify the name and password associated with WD drive. Finally, using the different account/credentials option in the Win 11 map networkView the full article

I originally opened my Microsoft account under an old email address. I now have a new address which I use for everything and I have removed the old address from my Microsoft account. Unfortunately, Microsoft are still occasionally communicating with me on this old address (which, from a security app, I understand has been compromised) . I am unable to do anything to access the old email address other than receive emails. How can I get Microsoft to use only my new email address. The most recent message that I received on my old account was Changes to Microsoft Defender.Clearly I don’t wantView the full article

A few weeks ago windows started acting up. Steam games wouldn't start, processes would get stuck and become impossible to stop (even using the command console as an admin)...After completely reinstalling Windows the worst is gone but it's still worse than Vista: Edge and Firefox sometimes "glitch out". Firefox is affected worse. Sometimes not even the text in the addressbar displays correctly.Steam games now run, but perform atrociously, either with less than 1FPS or frequently blacking out the screen.The screen blackouts also sometimes happen when using Edge.Curiously Halo seems to run as intView the full article

A family member thought it would be easy if files were backed up to the cloud using one drive, but did not realize it would completely move files entirely. Now after turning off the back up, there are files in both the Documents in ONEDRIVE and their PC. Other computers connected to the network that were saving files to the main computer are also now mixed, and it's hard to backtrack everything.How would I everything back to the way it was without creating duplicates or losing files?Also, why would backing up things to one drive completely remove itself from the original computer?View the full article

After transferring files from old laptop to new laptop, using the file transfer program that came with the new laptop, I get the desktop screen with not bottom ribbon for apps. The screen keeps blinking on and off. Tried a hard reboot but got a bit locker screen. Every thing after that just recycled to the bit locker screen and I do not have a bit locker key. I created a Windows Installation Medium on USB drive. I was able to get to the point where I could either repair the computer or load Windows 11. The repair took me to the bit locker screen. The Install Windows 11 took me to a scrView the full article

My question relates to Windows 11. I recently migrated from Win7 to Win11 and I have found that two of my legacy Hebrew applications are not displaying Hebrew characters properly -- in some situations. The two Hebrew applications are digital libraries (books): (1) Bar Ilan (2) Otzar Hachachma Let's start with a screenshot from the Windows TaskBar.The icon to the far left (a red & white book) is for Bar Ilan.As you can see, the caption to the right of the icon is in Hebrew -- so that's ok.The gold icon (another book) is for Otzar Hachachma.As you can see, the caption to the right of tView the full article

Both my mouse, touchpad, and touchscreen on my laptop likes to reset to the corners of the screen randomly when I am playing games. I have tried to reinstall drivers for all 3 but it still constantly resets. The device is a Lenovo Yoga 7 with win 11. Even when not running load-intensive applications, the input devices still occasionally goes to the corner of my screen without warning. The Enhance Pointer Precision is off and turning it on again did not solve the issue. The issue does not occur on my older Windows 10 device, even though it is similar specs and running the same applications. View the full article
