Comment on How could you do this to me?

I just upgraded my hardware and when booting Windows back up, I got the error that basically says “Your license no longer works, you need to buy a new one”. I’m happy to say that I’ll be using Bazzite as my main driver for now on.

On the one hand, you can usually contract MS support and tell them you just upgraded your hardware and they can re-enable your key. That thing was meant to stop people from sharing keys and limit how many PCs they have running that key at once, not to force a new key for upgrades. Assuming they still even do that, as it’s been a while since I needed to.
But on the other hand, it sounds like you already found an even better solution.
