    Win 11 license is tied to your motherboard. Switching anything besides that won’t change anything. Did you do a fresh install without Internet when you swapped your mobo? Besides that: you could go with Win 10 (preferably LTSC). Your only other option is to ditch Win for an OS that verifiably respects your privacy.

      I upgraded everything except one NVMe.

      Also read what I actually wrote. Full offline installs always.

      And linux would be an option except Nvidia.

          Can confirm, have an old entertainment PC with an NVidia card. I converted it to Linux, and it’s fine.

          They don’t.

          Just went through another round of Proxmox-> NixOS-> EndeavourOS-> Windows11, because of Nvidia.

              Nvidia open drivers.

              Wayland has rendering glitches (most notably with steam) and X11 has constant micro-flickering that kills my eyes.

        Besides magic or the possibility you erred however. On a purely theoretical and divorced from your situation to be perfectly clear: How?

        If you truly did all you did and re-built how did they still peg you as Theseus after you rebuilt your ship do you reckon?

          The only thing that shouldn’t have anything to do with it was the NVMe.

          Wiped clean several times over with sanitization and several linux installs, but it’s the only old part, and only tie-in.
