Windows 10: Activation code not working error 0xC004f050

I bought a new computer and uninstalled everything from the old one so I could get my activation code for windows, originally it was a code for win10 but I upgraded it to win 11 still on the old computer. Now I'm trying to activate the system with the same code but it doesn't work and I get the error 0xC004f050. Does this mean that I have to re-download win10 instead of win11 and then the code will work?

We will need a lot more info bud, see Activation troubleshooting - Windows 10 Forums

Run either tool - we just need some basic info to begin with.

May be a key/edition mismatch...

 

Activation error 0xc004f050

I'm struggling to get my activation code to work, every time I enter the code, I get error 0xc004f050

When I'm in the settings menu, I keep getting a message "you need to activate windows before you can personalise this PC"

Any help would be appreciated

Hi.

I hope to help.-

Before performing these steps, check the date and time of your computer sometimes the downloads produce errors due to the configuration of the system, and once updated or purchased the update of the date, time and time zone where you are, try these steps to
solve activation errors:

1. Confirm that the device is up to date and running Windows 10, version 1607 or later. Learn to update Windows 10.

2. Use the Activation Problem Solver to solve simple errors. See the following instructions for more details.

3. If the error continues, review the following list of error codes and follow the suggested steps to resolve it.

4. Make sure the error has not changed. Sometimes, when you run or try to activate the Activation Troubleshooter, they change the error code and the message. If you have changed, look for the new code below and follow the recommended steps.
