I have an ASUS ROG that came with Windows 12 11 pre-installed. I tried using it once and it pissed me off so bad I haven’t opened the laptop again. I want to switch to a Linux distro that’s compatible with it but need the process explained like you would to Grandma trying to bank online. Are there any resources that break it WAY down? Like, starting just after turning the computer on (I’ve got that down already).

Edit to say: it has been pointed out that Windows 12 does not, in fact, exist and I may or may not be posting this from the future.

    Windows activation has been UEFI-based for a while. No need to ever type in a key. Even if you somehow ended up with a non-activated machine, you can fix that real quick with massgrave.

      Oh, I didn’t know that. I haven’t installed windows in years, lol. In that case, if it’s a new pc with nothing on it there is nothing to back up.
