Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi everyone, here's my problem ... :

 

https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c05144098

 

Can someone tell me if there's a way to get it back to work or if i'll have to ditch a perfectly working computer bricked by the maker itself who dont provide any usable support on this topic ...

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Best regards

Try recovering the bios using the "B" key method

 

There are probably several versions of the 705 G2 motherboard.  You can always replace motherboard if the part numbers match.  Even as low as $18 USD.

You may have to call to activate if running windows 7 or 8 but if the used motherboard had win 10 then it was already activated.

Occasionally, Microsoft will deny windows 7 or 8 re-activation on OEM motherboards.  Just call again and get another rep.
