  • I’m not sure about Windows 11, but I’ve transferred a licence on Windows 10. If OP gives the existing computer an unique name it will make transferring the licence slightly easier.

    You need to install the same version of Windows on both computers - home or pro, not the version number

    Build the new PC as usual and start the Windows installation. When it asks if you have a licence, select the option to add it later (I can’t remember the exact wording). Finish the installation and install your drivers. Either click the activation popup, or go into settings and click on the ‘This computer isn’t activated’ box. Open the activation troubleshooter.

    There should be an option in there to transfer the licence from your old computer to the new one. If you have multiple licenses, having the unique name for the old computer makes it easier to see which one is the correct one.

    @Mighty@lemmy.world hope this helps :)












  • Strongly disagree. I’m using SwiftKey, and the prediction has been awful for the last year or so. It constantly tries to force sentences on me and gives me multiple repeated words.

    As an example, typing that last sentence, every time I started a word with ‘m’, it suggested ‘more’ and ‘more than’. If I long press and tell it not to suggest ‘more than’, then select ‘more’, the next suggested word is ‘than’.

    I find that it often repeats the selected word too. Earlier I typed something like ‘I did it last year’ and the next suggestions were ‘year’ and ‘year ago’.

    Microsoft have shoehorned a predictive AI into SwiftKey, and it doesn’t work properly.
