Hi @Rabond 

 

Did the disk have Windows installed?

 

If so, you're just giving it the same name as your previous computer. Remember to use a copy of Windows from another computer; otherwise, it will stop working soon because the license doesn't match.

so if i install a fresh copy of 11 it will correct

Sure. Or, if you'd like, I can change the computer's name.

You can't use Windows from another computer; Windows will crash.
