  1. Indeed. Though they should choose the option to keep their personal files when doing the Reset.
  2. Before you attempt any upgrade follow the instructions that to which I linked earlier. ONLY steps 4 to 6.
  3. I’m thinking that I might have been the one who helped you with that at the time.
  4. I actually agree with this. SSD are so cheap now, that it may be worth cloning his Windows 7 installation in case not everything carries over successfully.
  5. Just out of interest… Did you buy your PC with Windows 7 Ultimate installed or did someone help you to install it?
  6. The posts here are becoming more and more outlandish ????
  7. Forgot about the new PC. Don’t worry about the cheap licences. A reliable vendor will make sure that you get up and running. Cheap doesn’t mean that it won’t work.
  8. You don’t need to buy a licence… not even if you want to install Windows 10 or 11 Pro. It’s easy when you know how. No hacks necessary.
  9. Now you can see how I try to save people from the noise ???? and often they abuse me for it. People assert some really incredible things here.
  10. ????☺️ This made me smile ???? Are you Trolling the OP?
  11. But you don’t need an Internet connection to reset the PC..
  12. Be aware that if you reset, your Office program will disappear.
  13. That’s the carefully worded issue… “The “upgrade through the Get Windows 10 app”. In other words it only stopped via that particular application. Tricky eh?
  14. Again, not entirely true. Even Microsoft themselves have published how you can bypass that issue. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ways-to-install-windows-11-e0edbbfb-cfc5-4011-868b-2ce77ac7c70e Click through and scroll down to ‘warning:’
  15. It’s not a workaround; it’s the normal way. It didn’t ever stop. It was just a way to get as many people to upgrade as quickly as possible. No need to go to Tukcom, as you can use the Tool to make the latest installation media or to upgrade directly without creating media.
  16. No, you won’t be able to do so. Your current Gigabyte Motherboard has a special marker for it’s Windows 7 licence. Your new one won’t have that.
  17. You were mistaken. Not your fault; you just believed what you read. No workaround is required, the upgrade works as normal. It was just a way to push as many people into upgrading as possible. No good just having ten people on Windows 10. Don’t believe everything that you read.
  18. 1. They are mistaken 2. Yes, you can. The easiest way is to utilise Rufus to download and create the Windows 11 installation media.
  19. ???? I think you have misunderstood whatever you have been reading. For the purpose of simplification, let us say there are two channels of Windows for distribution to consumers. One retail and the other OEM(original equipment manufacturer). For the first, support is supposedly supplied by Microsoft, since it has nothing to do with the people who sold you your PC or who built your PC. The second, support is supposedly supplied by the people who sold/built your PC, since it was actually supplied with the PC. Support in this case has nothing to do with updates etc, as both will be fully supported in that way equally. Support means that you can actually call Microsoft when you have problems. This is where a lot of people get confused and begin making up all kind of stories of illegality and so forth. OEM licences are cheaper because they are supposed to be supported by the people who built/sold you your PC. In this case, the OP has a Gigabyte PC with his Windows 7 being activated under the Gigabyte licence supplied by Microsoft. Gigabyte is expected to give support under this licence. So any upgrade is supposedly also supported under said licence. Of course we know that the PC is no longer under guarantee, so if there are problems with compatibility, a certain amount of self help may be required to find out if some component is not compatible. But the upgrade will be fully and legitimately licenced, even if it’s for free. But the licence stays with that PC. The difference with the more expensive Retail channel is that the licence stays with the software. So you can uninstall it from one PC and install it to another ad infinitum. I hope that makes it more clear.
  20. I didn’t think about how much I would spend, but I spend less than I did twenty years ago, even taking into account the difference in exchange rates, simply because I spend less on accommodation. Not because I have downgraded, but because I stopped paying daily rates. I would pay 45k per month to live in a spacious bungalow on the beach. Now I pay less than half that to live in a luxury apartment at the beach.
  21. It’s unclear as to what you were trying to do. Eliminate DuckDuckGo from the discussion. It’s not an issue. Do you mean that you had Bookmarks/Favourites to transfer?
  22. Cannot see how this is related to the OP’s query. Try one of the numbers that isn’t a voicemail service: https://support.airasia.com/s/article/How-to-Call-us?language=en_GB or embarrass them via their social media portals.
  23. Ask Google.
  24. Obviously I don’t know the full criteria(ages etc) Here’s another example for 2 passengers over 62 years of age: https://matrix.itasoftware.com/itinerary?search=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%3D%3D Click on the link promptly.
  25. I’m guessing Thai spouse in the absence of a will. Help and advice.
