    Locked out of new computer, and was unsuccessful trying a reinstall of Win 11


    I was shutting down computer, brand new HP Victus w/ Win 11, when it wanted to update,so I let it. Turned out it included a bios and firmware update didn't know Windows could do that. When it restarted I got this message “Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to setup your PIN again.” This caused 2 problems, the Microsoft account is in a 30 day hold because backup email is no longer available and so we can't get a new code to allow us to enter a new code\password for the computer. Second bit locker seems to be on, although I never turned it on and it has stopped a

    Trying to connect to a printer that is physically on a Win 10 computer from a Win 11 computer to no avail.

    Hello Geldman,

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble connecting to your printer. Since you’ve already tried the solutions suggested on the internet, here are a few more things you can try:

    1. Make sure that the printer is shared on the Win 10 computer. To do this, go to the printer properties on the Win 10 computer and check the box next to “Share this printer” in the Sharing tab.
    2. Ensure that the printer is visible to other devices on the network. To do this, go to the printer properties on the Win 10 computer and check the box next to “List in the directory” in the Sharing tab.
    3. Try disabling any firewalls or antivirus software temporarily on both the Win 10 and Win 11 computers to see if that resolves the issue.
    4. Check if the printer is compatible with Windows 11. You can check the manufacturer’s website for the latest drivers and software for your printer.
    5. Try connecting the printer to a different USB port on the Win 10 computer.
    6. If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the printer to its default settings and then setting it up again.
    I hope one of these solutions works for you,
