    Can't activate Office 21 after updating to Windows 11 as Microsoft thinks license is still...


    I updated to windows 11 on my pc. I did this by wiping my partitions and using an install media usb. Windows 11 works great now, however when I download Office 21 it's saying that my license is already in use by my Windows 10 account. Everything says I need to uninstall it on Windows 10 and can then activate on Windows 11, but I have no way that I know of to uninstall on Windows 10 since I no longer have it on this PC. How can I transfer the license I have for 21 to my Windows 11 account?

    :)
