Windows 10: Cannot reactivate Windows 11 Education after a reset

My PC runs windows 11 Education system with license from my university. Because of a series of drive and firmware conflicts, I decided to reset the system. However, after the system was reinstalled, when I tried to login with my student account with correct student email address and password to reactivate the system multiple times, it failed and showed error code 801c03ed. I want to know how I can skip this step, or just install the basic version before school IT team respond to me.

Windows 11 (Education Edition) Reactivation

Got a tip from the team, you can reactivate as long as you have the product key of your Educ Edition. If you do not have it, you'd have to obtain this key from your school/university.

Also, in addition to this, I would like to suggest before changing hardware to run these commands. This is to disconnect the key from the current hardware it's connected to.

-Open CMD as admin

-Enter slmgr /upk and wait for this to complete. This will uninstall the current product key from Windows and put it into an unlicensed state.

-Enter slmgr /cpky and wait for this to complete. This will remove the product key from the registry if it's still there.

-Enter slmgr /rearm and wait for this to complete. This is to reset the Windows activation timers so the new users will be prompted to activate Windows when they put in the key.

Windows 10 Pro Education ??

This passed a long time ago for me... So in 5 years when you will reactivate that key. You would still legally qualify ???

Seems unlikely... But from what I see, There is not much genuine activation's refused "globally". If your key has not been abused it will work.

Reactivating Windows 10 Education after hardware Change

Hello I am trying to reactivate my windows 10 education version after I upgraded my motherboard. Everything was working fine before I switched but now I can't seem to get it reactivated. I have tried all the troubleshooting tips and tricks to get it working
but nothing seems to work? Do I need to go through my school to get this fixed or does someone have any other suggestions that I can do. Already did the troubleshooting and picking the previous device and talked on the automated phone setup but nothing has
helped.

Thank You k
