    They force you to re-buy the same software for literally the same hardware. That’s insane.

      For more context, it was a Windows 8.1 license I upgraded to 11. But yes, still crazy they let it “expire” when using the exact same hardware. My theory is that because the BIOS update changed my TPM keys, Windows couldn’t tell that it was the same hardware.
