Hardware upgrade
I have a w10 pc, upgraded from w7 ultimate. Unfortunately I can't upgrade to w11 with my current hardware (too old, I built my PC to last) so I had to invest in new hardware. Can I use the same key for a new clean install of w11 on my new hardware? I bought the w7 ultimate because of the promise that the key was for life. Was this the truth or a lie? Thanks in advance!

Can I go back to Win 10 if I don't like Win 11?
I would like to try the 11 upgrade but fear some customizations won't work. Micrisoft is cagey and talks about not supporting older software but doesn't say if it will still work on Win 11.

Stuck in Undoing changes made to your computer and restarts pc again
I update my windows 11 last night, and it’s been on this same “Undoing changes made to your computer” and goes to a blue screen “Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart” I’ve done many solutions like using short cuts, turn my pc off for 20 seconds, unplugging my power cable, and trying to get to the start up repair or trouble shoot pages but it seems like it’s impossible since I can’t get to the trouble shoots nor reset my pc properly, can somebody please help?

EasyAntiCheat_EOSSys related errors and warnings followed by game crashing
This has been happening off and on, (mostly on) ever since I purchased this new PC. I've learned that there was some recent incompatibility issue with EasyAntiCheat (EAC) and Windows 11 24H2 and one of the "fixes" was to rollback to Windows 11 23H2. Unfortunately, this did not fix the issue.The two common warnings and errors I see in the event viewer spammed before ultimately my game crashes is:Session "dc3a3596-71e1-45a3-b2ea-39ad5322fe51" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000022File System Filter 'EasyAntiCheat_EOSSys'&n

Windows keeps blue screening when installing programs and windows updates.
My computer keeps blue screening every time I try to install things. I originally started to try and install davinci resolve and mid way through running the .exe while it was installing, my computer gave me the BSOD. I looked it up and saw it could potentially be a driver issue so I installed the latest nvidia graphics driver and that got about halfway through then it again gave me the BSOD. I then tried to update windows to see if that would be a Hail Mary, that gave me the BSOD. Then I chose to upgrade finally to windows 11, it took a bit but I got to windows 11, it all downloaded fine. I tr
