No. I'm saying that you can just reinstall Windows 10 Pro without inputting a key anywhere and have it re-activate online automatically (or on request) once installed. It'd be as "officially registered" as it is now and would not have any water mark.

Ok I finally got the balls to use timeshift. It didn't damage any of my windows boot files or anything else. here is the INXI - r info

Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
It updates a lot which is one reason why I do not recommend installing it.
What exactly does this mean? Does it mean you still can not boot normally?
I don't understand your install. It appears you have a home directory. Then you also have another home directory which is encrypted?

Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
Yes... I've mentioned I'm dual booting many times. Yes the install has been broken from day one of installation. No graphics.
YES I CANNOT STILL BOOT NORMALLY.

Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
Please boot to a live session of Linux Mint and provide the system information from the live session.
Please also explain what you encrypted and how you did it because it does not appear the way encrypted installs usually appear.

Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
Only the home partition is encrypted. It takes forever to boot the live CD
Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
Here is the INXI -F and Inxi - R from a LIVE CD. I encrypted my home partition on linux mint here using the built in encryption method. That is the stock one it comes with. Not sure why it shows up different.

Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
How did you boot the live CD? Did you boot it normally or in Compatibility mode. If that was booting normally, then it appears there was a problem with your ISO and/or your CD and you should not have installed. Did you verify the ISO before you burned the CD?
Also,in the future, please use the System Reports app to post system data. Open the System Reports app and click the System Information tab on the left. Your computer's information should come up in the right pane. Then click Copy, and paste the results into a reply window here.

Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
Yes I verified the ISO. I booted it in compatibility mode. It doesn't seem like you know what's going on. I give up.
Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
The idea was to see if the graphic drivers would load as they should. When you boot in compatibility mode you are purposely preventing the graphics drivers from loading. I didn't realize you were going to do that.
At no point did you say you could not boot the live session normally. All you have done is talk about your installed version. There are many people who have problems with an install who are able to boot the live session normally.
It's really sounding like you have a hardware issue. Operating systems can not fix hardware issues.
A woman typing on a laptop with LM20.3 Cinnamon.
Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
The hardware is FINE. I game on my WIN 10 all the time. It can handle it like a beast I was playing Outer worlds even on it. What might not BE fine is that the hardware was never designed to be used with Linux or even Windows 10. IT was only supported up to windows 8. I DID mention before that the LIVE CD could ONLY BE BOOTED IN COMPATIBILITY MODE AND I INSTALLED FROM COMPATIBILITY MODE.
Again... I GIVE UP.
I don't need graphics on the linux partition to do what I do on there. I browse the web and I code in python. That's it. These are not demanding tasks at all. I can do heavy graphical work on my WIN 10. I think it's fine to use it in recovery mode since all the cogs don't work with linux

As I have already mentioned, others have been able to get graphics on that same graphics hardware (but not an IPOWER laptop) so it's possible there is something in the BIOS/UEFI or IPOWER hardware that makes your situation different. Without seeing logs of what happens for a normal boot, I have no guesses as to what might be happening.

Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
Probably the BIOS. I'm scared to update it. I dont even think its possible to update.
I'm not sure how I would get you logs from a normal boot. IT WILL NOT AND NEVER HAS booted normally.
There's a ton of extra hardware on the laptop, like turbo charged fans, and keyboard lights bet you anything that's it.

Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
You seem to be equating seeing graphics as booting normally. It is quite possible for a computer to boot with no graphics and have booted normally. A lack of graphics means a lack of graphics and does not equate with whether or not the operating system booted.
It is extremely time-consuming to review logs. You have already indicated you have given up and you are satisfied to work with what you have so I will not spend the time.
Yes, people do read them. You dragged out the entire process by spending a great deal of time questioning our suggestions or telling us you were not going to do them. That makes it harder to remember details from one post made a month ago.
A woman typing on a laptop with LM20.3 Cinnamon.
Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
Right. There is no way for me to get you those logs. All I get is an error screen and then it goes straight to minimal bash. I am just upset that we spent all this time doing all this just to find out what I knew was the case all along. Maybe someday I will try again someday. Thanks everyone.
Re: cannot use mint 21 unless I am in recovery mode
You posted an image earlier which appears to indicate you set up debugdfs, but provided no information about how or why you did that. Why and how did you enable it?
You didn't show anything going to "a bash or minimal set up" so we don't know what you mean by that or what you do once you are at that point.
A ring test failure can be an indication the discrete graphics card is no longer working. Because both your discrete and onboard GPUs use the same driver, that makes it harder to disable one so you can use the other. It may be in Windows that you are not using both GPUs, but only one.
If you then restart the computer after "a bash or minimal set up", and if the system had booted the first time, one can get the log info of the prior boot on the next boot cycle (the one where you boot in recovery mode) by running the following.
Code: Select all
journalctl -b -1 | nc termbin.com 9999
So purposely wasted our time and yours?
