Windows 10: Bought W11Pro, no activation key sended, also my current license became inactive

Hello, bought recently Windows 11 Pro, but how to activate it? I got no activation key, nothing. It is just appeared in my profile that i bought it. Also my windows somehow switched from windows home to enterprise and the windows license went inactive. Troubleshoot button did not help. This is very frustrating. Hope there is a solution.

Tranfer W10pro license to new PC running W11pro

Dear community,

I have bought a new system which came without an OS. On my now old machine I am running a RETAIL Windows10pro license which is said to be 'activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account'

On the new machine I've installed W11pro but it needs to activate and I am strugleing to do that.

I've scoured through the help sections but they mostly entail info about same version migration (W10 to W10 or W11 to W11). So I am a bit at a loss here.

Retailers and others forums had ensured me that it should be possible what I want to achieve as it is a digital retail license.

Getting error message 0xC004F213. Troubleshooter can't help either.

 

Windows License Key / Windows Activation

[table][tr][td]Windows is not activated[/td][td]

• You are not activated.
• You will see an error message explaining the failure.
• You might need to purchase Windows 10 to activate.

I kinda did all the possible troubleshooting listed in the other threads ( btw this problem is waaay more common than necessary)

The fact is that the 1st year i used this pc without any problems. The pc was bought brand new.

Edit: In bios it seems that instead of the license key i found written '' NO DPK''

 

Can you change a license key?

If your current 1909 install is activated, no product code is needed to upgrade to 2004. It will likely upgrade even if it isn't activated to be honest.
Your Digital License is Edition (Home , Pro etc) specific but not locked into a specific build number. No new code is needed to upgrade to a new build.
My laptop has an embedded OEM key for 8 Core. That would get me 10 Home on a clean install. I can switch Editions to Pro etc with a Change Product Key. That laptop has multiple Digital Licenses for Home, Pro, Pro Workstation, etc. I haven't had to enter a product code in ages.
As far as I know, Black Listed Keys, will just show up as "not a valid key for this edition" when entered. As they are not valid for any edition.

EDIT: In response to the thread title, yes you can change product codes. You can enter a different product code for that same Edition to go from not activated to activated. I've seen it done numerous times when a "to good to be true" product code was bought on E-Bay and didn't activate. They bought a good key from reputable seller and they were activated.
