My Windows 10 Pro PC upgrade to Windows 11 Pro License Issues?
Hello all I have a PC with Windows 10 Pro on it that has an up-to-date but old install of Windows 10 Pro. My hardware is compatible with Windows 11 according to the Microsoft tool. I have three problems: I want Windows 11 Pro I need a bigger hard drive I have a new processor I want to install (change from Ryzen 3600 to 5900x, same motherboard) My problem is that I don't want to lose my Windows product key. So my plan is in this order: Put in the new CPU (hope this does not break my Windows license) Install Windows 11 as an upgrade Do all updates Remove old hard drive Put in new hard drive Install Windows 11 fresh Hope existing product key works without me having to buy a new one My questions are: Will my plan work? Will my plan work better if I do it in a different order? Should I do a completely different plan? I am asking the question because I once updated the bios on a motherboard, and it disabled the license for my Windows (which I no longer had a record of). Microsoft said it was because I had a "hardware change," which I simply said you do not know the difference between hardware and software, as a BIOS update is not a hardware change. All the hardware, chips, capacitors, resistors, etc. soldered on to a motherboard were exactly the same! Thanks for readingNot receiving notification from MCT Lounge

OneDrive on Mac: shared folders suddenly not any more visible in finder
I use the Onedrive App on my Macbook Pro M2 Max with the latest Sequoia 15.3.1. I own Microsoft 365 family. In there are three users that share some of their OneDrive folders to some other users of the same family. Now I see that suddenly a shared folder (FOTOS_2024-) is not any more visible in Finder, but it is visible online and sharing is allowed. But it is not in the selection of synchronised folders in the OneDrive properties (see screenprint below) How can I correct this that I have the missing folder again in Finder?

Scenario: We are managing BitLocker through Intune, with recovery keys backed up to Entra ID for both Hybrid and Entra ID-joined devices. Our devices run Windows 10/11 Professional, and we have EMS E3 licenses. Confusion: Most Microsoft documents state that Windows 10/11 Professional is sufficient to enable and manage BitLocker. However, one document mentions that Windows 10/11 Enterprise is required to manage BitLocker using CSP (Configuration Service Provider). We need clarification on whether Windows 10/11 Professional is fully capable of BitLocker management via Intune or if Enterprise is required for CSP-based management. I am providing reference Microsoft articles and screenshots to support this. BitLocker Enablement: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/operating-system-security/data-protection/bitlocker/#windows-edition-and-licensing-requirements BitLocker Management: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/operating-system-security/data-protection/bitlocker/configure?tabs=common#windows-edition-and-licensing-requirements Encrypt Devices with Intune: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/encrypt-devices#view-details-for-recovery-keys "Information for BitLocker is obtained using the BitLocker configuration service provider (CSP). BitLocker CSP is supported on Windows 10 version 1703 and later, Windows 10 Pro version 1809 and later, and Windows 11."

Hi I understand that by default when a site collection and sites are created, the option Allow members to share the site and individual files and folders. is ticked. This allows members of the site to 'Share' files. This feature overrides the existing permissions and creates unique permissions on that file. It gets messy fast!! Now we are in a situation where one site collection has over 100 sites. Within these sites members have shared documents they shouldn't have. My first question is, can I turn the share function off at site collection level or does it need to be done one each site? Once it is turned off does it make the links that have been shared invalid or are they still active? Thanks Karen
How to download older ISO files
Dear All, I'm trying to re-activate an older HP Server with Hyper-V 2019. Unfortunately, this server doesn't support UEFI but the current ISOs are UEFI only. I would need a Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V Core Version 1809 that can be booted on BIOS machines. Any chance to get one?Posting community events?
I used to be able to submit community events via https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/mtc-event-add?boardId=CommunityEventsList&WT.mc_id=DOP-MVP-5001655 But that link now seems to redirect to the home page. Maybe it got lost in the upgrade last year? What's the process now for submitting events? David

Unable to Upload More Than 3 Files onto OneDrive Personal Vault
Hi Since early January 2025 (once I have unsubscribed from Co-Pilot feature), I have not been able to upload more than 3 files onto OneDrive Personal Vault. on the Web Browser, it was showing me that there was insufficient space - this made no sense as I still have 700GB+ of free space on the Mobile App, it was showing that I could only upload 3 files to Personal Vault - this made no sense either as I should be allowed to upload more than 3 files to my Personal Vault with Microsoft 365 Personal Classic.Integrating Outlook with VBA
Hi, I've been trying to integrate Outlook with VBA on my personal account, something I've successfully done multiple times on my business account. Normally, I achieve this by enabling the Microsoft Outlook option under Tools > References in the VBA Editor, but this option is not appearing for me now. It almost seems as if Outlook cannot be integrated with my personal account, though support has assured me that it should be possible. I've also attempted to troubleshoot by updating security settings in the Registry Editor, but the settings I see don't match any of the guides I've found online (screenshot below). Has anyone encountered this issue before or have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
