[QUOTE="Kongo, post: 939696, member: 59691"] Why not? :unsure: Upgrading from older Windows versions doesn't do anything as the programs and files (malicious and not) still remain on your system and can do whatever they want. I don't quite get what you mean by not having any disks, but you can reset your PC which removes all the files and does a fresh Windows install without the need of a disk. If you don't know your product key, you can find it out with that tool: [URL='https://www.zebnet.de/freeware/keyfinders/windows-keyfinder']Windows Keyfinder | zebNet®[/URL] Don't forget to backup your data before doing that, as everything will be gone. Thanks for the info, I knew that but wasn't sure about the module being added in the recent Sophos update. You probably mean the device protection in the Windows security center. Many of those functions need specific hardware which you most likely don't have as your PC is pretty old school (to put it in a friendly way). 😄 [/QUOTE]
