Ahoy! I want to share files between iphone & pc. I just discovered that W11 home edition doesn’t allow remote access. Microsoft wants $99USD to upgrade to pro. Does anyone know of alternative means? Thanks.

    I tried MAS & got this error msg. Maybe I’ll go offline, turn off antivirus, & try again. If I understand correctly, no remote-control apps will work unless that’s enabled in Windows.

      I disabled antivirus, tried again, and was told W11 home was already permanently activated. No upgrade-to-pro option. Oh, well.

      Use this one instead: irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex

      Idk why the virus warning, false positive? Check the github maybe. The script is legit and uses Microsoft methods for force activation. It does require internet since the command basically fetches the script from the website.
