PIN reset in windows 11 after motherboard change
Hello hoping someone can help me, I have changed motherboard, entered the bitlocker key and now can’t login to my windows credentials as it’s wanting me to reset my pin but when I click send me a reset code via my email I don’t receive anything. Has anyone ever encountered this? I would usually do a fresh install when swapping motherboard but it unexpected died and so didn’t have chance to back my files up.
Fully Automated Windows Factory Reset for Corporate Laptops
Hello, I am working on a corporate project where we need to allow employees to purchase company laptops. After purchase, the laptop must be fully reset to a “factory state,” removing all corporate data and files. I have tried several approaches: systemreset -factoryreset — but it always shows the GUI and prompts the user to choose whether to keep files or remove everything. Using a ResetConfig.xml — but without an OEM recovery image, it does not work. Applying install.wim via DISM — but after reboot, the system remains unchanged. My goal is to fully automate the factory reset without any user interaction, ideally in a corporate environment. I am considering using MDT, SCCM, or Intune. My questions: What is the best approach to fully automate Windows reset for corporate laptops? Are there best practices or official guides from Microsoft for this scenario? Has anyone successfully implemented fully automated factory reset in a corporate deployment?Help on how to boot from old SSD on newest Motherboard
I have a PC with a motherboard ASROCK H510M-HDV/M2 retail and a disk SSD Patriot P300 512GB NVME M.2 PCIE GEN 3 X4. On hand I have an older SSD Apacer 240GB with Windows 10 Pro on it. I want (and need) to set the old Apacer as the boot drive but : In the BIOS 1. It is recognized as a SATA disk 2. It does not show up in the boot menu. Only the newer NvMe is shown in the boot manager. 3. When I remove the NVME disk, there is no boot disk available. There must be some BIOS tweak to make the "legacy" SSD as boot disk but I cannot find it. Any help appreciated.

Windows 11 install error: Windows cannot be installed to this disk
My Windows 10 PC sends me upgrade information from time to time and it seems the perfect time to upgrade to Windows 11 now as Windows 11 is much more stable and safe. So I made a Windows 11 bootable disk with the Media Creation Tool and it went smoothly without any issue. After booting the Windows 10 PC, I was forced to choose the language, keyboard and Windows 11 version. However, I am unable to select a partition to install Windows 11 from USB. The error message says: Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disk. I am not a tech savvy. Is there any way to fix this so I can install Windows 11 from USB drive over Windows 10?
