How do I unpair my windows license from my old PC
I recently built a new PC, and used my windows home license from my old custom built PC to activate windows. This happened automatically as I logged into my microsoft account. Now I want to sell my old pc, so I've done a full clean install of windows and fully cleared the drives. I also removed the old pc from my list of devices on my microsoft account. After reinstalling windows on the old pc, I bypassed the login offline to see if everything was successfully deleted without having to log into my microsoft account. I also checked my key activation. I then plugged in my ethernet cable, and almost instantly windows notified that it was activated. Despite my license already being active on my new pc, and being removed from my devices on my account, it still automatically pairs with my old pc once it connects to the internet. I've ofcourse already tried slmgr /upk and slmgr /cpky, but this didn't fix the issue, since once I press the "resolve issue" button next to the missing license, it just automatically pairs with my personal license. Microsoft most likely just has a database with pc and license pairs, to conveniently auto-connect product keys to pcs. my old pc needs to be removed from this, and it's ridiculous that there is no easy way to do this, if there is a way at all. I'm afraid that when I sell my old pc, the new user will automatically pair with my license, and (possibly?) throw my new pc off my own license. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I've already had 2 chats with microsoft support, and they had no idea what to do. I could ofcourse throw a 3rd party OEM license on it, but this doesn't seem like the intended behavior of product licenses.
How to Disable Drag and Drop Pop Up
I just got a new Dell Laptop that came with Windows 11 Pro version 25H2 (26200.7623). When trying to drag and drop between two folders I get this pop up. How do I disable it? I'm assuming a regedit or something along those lines but I haven't been able to find this mentioned anywhere online. I use drag and drop a lot and this pop up really disrupts my work flow.
How to enable dark mode and adjust to a higher resolution for applications in Windows 11?
The system theme has been set to dark mode, but some system interfaces, application windows, or dialog boxes still display in light mode, and their interface resolution or scaling appears low. It is necessary to confirm whether this is a known limitation of the component, and if there are methods to forcibly enable dark mode or adjust its independent display resolution/scaling to match the overall visual style and clarity of the system.
After updating to Windows 11, the laptop boots into an endless black screen loop.
After installing the Windows 11 update and restarting, the Alienware laptop displays a completely blank screen (total blackout) at startup, with only the keyboard indicator lights active. After a period of time, the computer automatically restarts and enters an infinite loop of black screen, unable to bring up any interface (including Startup Repair, Safe Mode, etc.).
ISO Download for Windows 11 22H2 64 bit
I can't find the official source to download the Windows 11 22H2 64-bit ISO file, but I'm hitting dead ends. The Microsoft website seems to only offer the Media Creation Tool or Installation Assistant, which force an upgrade or create media on a USB. I specifically need the standalone ISO file for a clean installation in a virtual machine. Has anyone discovered a reliable, official source for Windows 11 22H2 ISO download (64-bit)? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Default location
I use my Windows 11 laptop about once a week. The past Saturday, I turned it on and found that it thinks it's in California (Alhambra to be exact) I live in Wahiawa, HI. I manually changed the time zone to HST. But it doesn't change other services that use location services. The Weather App still thinks I'm in Wahiawa, though. How can I get Windows to automatically detect my correction location? One time, it thought I was in Russia (of all places and I thought my computer was highjacked). I forgot how I fixed it, though. Thank you.Why oobe\bypassnro Not Working for Windows 11 25H2
Hi all, I managed to install windows 11 with a local account by applying the oobe\bypassnro trick. It worked like a charm in the past with Windows 11 22H2, 23H2 and 24H2 installation as far as I have tried. However, it seems this bug was patched by Microsoft and oobe\bypassnro not working for Windows 11 25H2. Is there any other methods I can try in order to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account? Thank you
Possible to put multiple iso files on one bootable usb flash drive from windows 11?
Office has a dozen of computers to get os reinstalled or updated from time to time. In the past , I usually prepared a couple of USB flash drives for different operating systems, such as Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux. Now, it is not very convenient. I heard there is a way to put multiple iso files on one bootable usb drive. It is called multi-boot usb and you can only take one usb flash drive for reinstalling different OS. Is this correct? How can I do that on my Windows 11 laptop?
