    activating windows 11 on new hardware


    hi , i recently bought a new pc . on my old pc i have a windows 10 activated with digital license and i linked it to my Microsoft account so i can transfer my license to my new pc . as i am aware i can also use my windows 10 key for windows 11 , here is my question : can i install directly windows 11 on my new pc and activate it through my Microsoft account or should i install windows 10 first and upgrade it to windows 11 through windows update center

    :)

  2. Activation on new hardware

    In the activation troubleshooter, when it detects no problems or gets to the end screen, click "I changed hardware on my PC recently", and select the license that corresponds to your PC. You might need to restart your PC.

    Activation on new hardware

    I had already completed the troubleshooting steps you have suggested and the process simply ends up with 'Unable to activate windows'. Error message persists.

    Windows Activation on new hardware

    I had Windows 10 pro installed on an old computer and it would not update to Windows 11 because of old hardware (wouldn't support 11). I have a new computer which will only load windows 11 (Home). How do I transfer the Windows 10 Pro license to the new Windows 11 (Home) computer. I have de-activated the Windows 10 Pro license on the old computer and had the Microsoft account open when de-activated?
