Absolutely amazing guide - it was wild seeing your system time go from 8PM at the start to 1AM in the conclusion. SO much hard work!

[Juan-rert]

Thanks to you Chris! I just got Windows 11 and Office 2021 From BNH Software! The activation process was easy, and the delivery was instant.

[ktg_castle]
