@@myst278 When you install a new drive, ssd or hdd, you will have to set it up in windows to be able to use it. Basically. This especially might happen if you install windows with disconnected drives because windows wont search and automatically allocate the storage that is not connected.

[@JamAttack]

for anyone who accidentally installed the wrong version of Windows, don't worry. Nothing on Windows will let you fully reset to the point where you can redo that, but your bios should let you completely wipe and re-partition your hard drive. It's probably different depending on the bios, but it works so don't worry you're not doomed

This video is a great guide. I would say to DEFINITELY spend the money to get a real version of windows/ activation key. I bought one off of a site like this about 2 years ago and it worked until 5 months ago where I started having bugs and windows would no longer allow me to update. This was because Microsoft realized it was a false windows key and locked me out. I now have to buy a new version and reinstall a ton. Its not worth the hassle. Please just buy genuine windows. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

personally, I would rather spend 15 bucks 1-4 times than 200 bucks 1 time

[@sanasouou6144]

Hi! I have a question! So in the first part of the video he showed people how to instal windows for free using usb stick, will you still have to do that and still buy the real version of windows, or can you just power on your pc and but the real version of windows without a usb stick?

So I’ve had my pc for about two years now and my m.2 literally just quit on me with no warning. I was able to get it working again long enough for me to download a program that tells me the health of the drive and it said only 2 percent of its life was used. Or maybe I misunderstood and it said there was only 2 percent life left… lmao either way that same day the pc restarted and went into the bios automatically because my OS was installed on the m.2 so now my pc is a brick.
