Would it be possible to fix ssd issues if I made a new partition with the free space, copied my files over, formatted the old one, and extended the new one without formatting the entire drive?

I love Windows!

How does tpm+pin work? If I put my drive into another computer windows will get unactivated no doubt, but what about encryption? Can I access disks?
>>
>>108975701
Bit tricky to explain, but one of the issues I ran into was not being able to use chkdsk to fix it not letting me shrink the drive. And it kept running that command each start-up until I manually excluded the drive from scanning each startup. And I have permission issues when using linux to auto mount it, where I have to keep using ntfsfix -d each time I install a new linux distro, and only read permissions with some apps whenever I use any arch based one.

I installed a fresh w11 and created a new microsoft account in the process (of course a random throwaway adress). Is there any way to un-fuck that and only have a local windows account?
>>
Am I the only person who prefers using Massgrave's TSForge activation over HWID? I feel like reverse engineering the activation system to permanently activate your OS offline is more elegant of a solution than planting a fake license on MS' servers.
>>
>>108976435
You can turn an MS account into a local account within the account settings

>>108976917
It works great, but the activation has an easier chance of disappearing when a feature update is installed for example. Just minor annoyances you don't need to deal with when you use HWID, but it's still a clean activation, especially if you want to activate offline.

>permanently activate your OS offline
You need internet access for the TSforge activation process too and in both cases you don't need internet access anymore once activated
>>
>>108977056
Ah, that's a new thing then. Guess it needs to fetch activation data, but I wonder if you could fetch it on a different machine, move it over and then still activate fully offline.
>>
>>108977056
Actually there's a module of TSforge called KMS4k which allows it to activate the system if no internet is found. ZeroCID is the one that use to work offline completely but a "bug" that was added to a newer version of Windows broke that functionality and it became an online activation.
>>
>>108977056
I like Ohook for old Office (2016) since it's doesn't get updates anyway
>>
>>108977168
Ohook is the recommended Office activation method for all versions anyway
>>
>>108977168
Ohook is all you really need for any version of Office post 2010.
