We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Windows 7/8 Product Key to install Windows 10 workaround - possibly no longer

    Some people mentioned KMS volume license keys which require a corporate activation server. There are also MAK volume license keys that are activated with Microsoft activation servers.

    Windows 7/8 Product Key to install Windows 10 workaround - possibly no longer

    That is what I found. I have an ASUS TUF Gaming (2022) laptop. It came with Windows 11 Home. I upgraded it to Windows 11 Pro. I had to send it in for repairs. They replaced the motherboard. When I got it back it said it needed to be activated. After I reentered the Windows 11 Pro key it received...

    Microsoft to Remove Ability to Install Win 11 Pro Without Being Online and Signing in to Microsoft Account

    I haven't read though all the previous 418 posts on this thread so I don't know what the consensus is... Microsoft still wants you to install Windows 11 with a Microsoft account but as of July 10, 2022 you don't have to. I just installed two Windows 11 computers using Hyper-V Computer #1...

    What is the history of HardForum?

    What is the history of HardForum? Has it been around continuously since its start? I first joined in 2005 and haven't logged in in a long time. I thought I had posted here a long time ago but find no history of that. Have old posts been purged or am I mistaken?

    For 1 GB of RAM old PC, any problem on running Windows 7 at 32 bit? Or should he take a chance on 64 bit?

    I have Windows 7 64-bit on computers with 8GB RAM. They run well with CPUs with 4 cores. However, Windows 7 32-bit is a challenge with old single core CPUs with 2GB RAM. They are slow and only tolerable if I limit them to one program at a time. I expect a computer with only 1GB RAM will be slow...
