Thankyou Budman

Built a box for my 6 yo grandson last week. Clean install of Win10 and I use a old Win7 Pro key I had. Activated just fine, then did the upgrade to Win11 with no problems. It was a retail key so your results may vary. Did it on a Gigabite B550M DS3H, AMD 5600G, 16 gigs and a 1T NVMe.... Cause every Dude needs a computer to play ROBLOX and COD2 on.

Happy Birthday everyone

Hmm. Did the win7 to 10 a few months ago due to a few software requirements. Has worked very well with the few games I played. However as online games... battlenet/epic/steam/etc... Im sure they did any required upgrades automatically. COD4 modding did require a couple permissions changes I believe for the compiler to work and access various folders and files.

@Raven Thanks for sharing, the last question got me good lol
