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

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.
