Windows 10: Automatically updated to Windows 11 - But says I need activation code?

My PC told me I needed to update to Windows 11 from my Windows 10. So, I updated everything, and when I went to re-personalize my PC background it said I needed to activate my Windows. It specifically say, "We can't activate Windows on this device because you don't have a valid digital license or product key". When I click troubleshoot, I am still told it is not activated and cannot activate my copy of Windows. I tried looking at YouTube videos but everywhere is saying it should be free. But for some reason for me it is not, and I don't know why it is so difficult to find a product key for Win
