If the unit came with Windows 11 Home and you're trying to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro, the only way you can do so is using a Windows 11 Pro Product Key. The Product Key the unit came with is embedded in the BIOS, so W11 will always Activate as Home unless you change the Product Key.

For reference, if it definitely said it came with Pro, you have the option of contacting the seller and requesting a genuine Pro Product Key. If it was through Amazon, you also have the option of contacting barry at barry@minipcunion.com and requesting the same. He's a tech for the company. I'd get ...

The Windows that is installed on these units is not an unlicensed version. It is a legitimate, fully operational Windows installation with a genuine Windows license (Product Key). Regarding the "spyware", there was a small batch of three different models that did have dormant spyware on th...

If the unit comes with Windows 11 Home and you're wanting to upgrade to Pro, I'd set it up as it comes, going through the Windows setup and all that. Then just change the Product Key, using the Windows 11 Product Key you bought. Or, you can do a clean install of Windows, if you want to, and use the ...

Which model do you have? It would be a good idea to try a BIOS discharge, but in order to give proper instructions for doing so we need to know which model you have.

Though I can't recommend anything specific like the admin or barry777 could (he's a tech for the company), I've used 500GB XPG SX8200 Pro in two of my systems and had no problem with either of them. I used them in my AMR5 and AM06 Pro. This was a while ago though. Were I doing it today I'd probably ...

Concernant l'accès au forum via le VPN de Avast, j'ai testé avec une localisation aux USA, et ca ne fonctionne toujours pas. J'espère que ce n'est pas du à un blacklist de leur part. It's possible the VPN is assigning an IP address that is flagged by Spamhaus. However, the only problem this ever ca...

Yes, I was not aware they were applications, as most driver packs here do not contain applications.

The only thing I can suggest is a clean install of Windows.

There's no need to get snippy about it. I don't have an AK3, so I'm not familiar with the drivers in this pack. The drivers available for most models on this site, including all I own, are not applications and are instead installed via the Device Manager. Your other options are again, Driver Booster...

Are you trying to install/update the driver from within the Device Manager? If not, try that. I'm on a Mac right now, so I can't give exact step by step instructions, but I believe you right click on the device in question, then select Update Driver, then choose "Browse my computer for drivers&...
