    Activation woes after updating to Windows 11 22H2


    In March 2018 I purchased a Dell XPS 13 laptop for a co-worker. This laptop came with Windows 10 Home, which I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro using the "Buy upgrade from store" option. At some point the laptop was upgraded to Windows 11 Pro and for the past years this laptop has been working without issues.Last week, after installing the Windows Updates, the laptop suddenly started showing the "Activate Windows - Go to Settings to activate Windows" sign.I tried running the Activation Trouble Shooter, but without success. I can't seem to find a way to reactivate Windows using the upgrade I purchase
