Hello Nightfox!

It came with Windows 8.1 "with Bing" :-D on it when it was new in late 2014, then I applied the free upgrade to Windows 10 Home when that was offered by Microsoft, and then upgraded it to Windows 11 Home using Flyby11 earlier this summer. So it (still) says that it's activated through a digital license.

 Ni> TPM is just a security feature that uses cryptography to protect against

 Ni> additional security checks.

Yep! Seems to be working fine, at least! =)

Best regards
