    Cannot activate Windows 11 after a BIOS update


    Hello, so i keep getting to activate my windows 11 even though i have one, this started after a bios update. I had this problem before, long time ago and i fixed it by choosing the "I changed hardware on this device recently" and choose my device from the list of devices. The issue right now is that i have no devices being shown there and it says i need to log in with the right account that has the licence. The account is logged in and is the correct one. Anyone know how to solve this i tried many solutions but nothing works. Also, i did make a support ticket to microsoft to get some help, b

    :)

  2. Cant Activate Windows 11 after BIOS Update !

    Updating your motherboard's BIOS should not affect your Windows 11 activation, as activation is tied to your Microsoft account, not your hardware. However, it's possible that something went wrong during the BIOS update that caused your Windows 11 activation to be lost.

    To resolve the issue, you can try the following:

    1. Check that you're signed in to Windows 11 with the same Microsoft account you used to activate it.
    2. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation and click on "Troubleshoot" to run the activation troubleshooter. Follow the on-screen instructions and select "I recently changed hardware on this device" when prompted.
    3. If the troubleshooter doesn't work, try using the "Change product key" option in the Activation settings to manually enter your product key. You can find your product key on the Windows 11 packaging or in the email from Microsoft when you purchased the license.
    Let me know if you need further help.
