I built my new pc yesterday afternoon, and finished this morning, after only spending a short time with the motherboard the night before. (late delivery)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So getting my pc to boot was problematic. Yes, reseat the memory, then take one out, ok progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Windows, …. a terrible is it going to boot the installer or not, is it going to restart and then come back … or … for the most part pc would reboot then just hang there, fans burring along, cooler fan rgb would go rainbow colors when everything started up, but then just whirl, silence, whirl, silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hard shut down, start, mash delete button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OK, there is a windows segment, why ain’t it really booting, don’t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Went though more of that, nothing happening or oooh splash window for bios, I always let that happen, makes me happy. Win would usually take over there, but a restart in the process later, more of those nothing reboots and hard turn offs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So once the “Hi” shows up, things will be smoother. Well, once sure hopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got into Win 11 Pro, which I had on previous computer, well thanks Windows, you never assigned it to me as a windows credentials sign in person all the time then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had installed Win 11 HOME on top of Linux Mint on that other computer, which was installed on top of the Windows 11 Pro I used since it upgraded from my purchase of Win 10 Pro in Dec 2019 when I built that computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was willing to have that pc not activated, I had no choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can unactivate so easily, maybe there’s a way, where there’s a will, there is a way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So sitting here in my office chair, I am NOT spending $200 freaking dollars on Windows 11 Pro license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
