I just changed out my motherboard, processor, and other stuff. I bought a new copy of Windows 11 but it won't install. I had a working bootable drive from before so I could still start up the computer with the new parts. Wish I'd known that beforehand. I wouldn't have spent money on the new software copy. Does this mean it's useless to me? I'm pretty sure I can update my programs and save them if I don't get confused here. Can anyone help me out? Thanks a ton!
