So the story begins in August 2020.
I thought I was clever and installed Ubuntu 20.04 to replace Windows on my prebuilt HP Z220 Workstation. The copy of windows WAS activated and WAS windows 10.
Then the disk died. So I installed Ubuntu again.
Long story short one day Ubuntu was suddenly incompatible with my PC (even though i did nothing) and half the motherboard was effectively unusable.
Installing Windows 10 fixed this but now it's deactivated .
This sounds like a me problem but I went to Ubuntu for various reasons, such as the fact that Windows was glitching my computer out, and it needed reinstalled. I didn't have a windows installer on hand by then, so I installed Ubuntu. This still might be a "me" problem though
