Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hello!

I have bought a HP 15 laptop with Win10 installed. Win10 has upgraded to Win11, that is OK. Beside Win11 I wanted to install Fedora. Fedora was installed, but possibly the GPT has been overwritten with MBR. The original drive is there, it can be mounted under Fedora and the files are intact. But GRUB can not include Windows as an option to boot.

 

At Microsoft a Win11 ISO can be downloaded, but that version will require sooner or later the Win11 registry key. How could the registry key get restored?

Thanks for your support!

Hi:

 

You won't need a product key to reinstall W11.

 

The W10 product key that is encrypted in your notebook's BIOS will work on both W10 and W11.
