Windows 10: Can't Activate Windows 11 because I previously bought Windows 10 and got the upgrade -- How...

I bought Windows 10 for a lot of money -- £189 several years ago. I have this on my MS account, You will see on my purchase history I bought Windows 10 Professional, but the details of this purchase are no longer available maybe they expire after a certain amount of time? Anyway, So when windows 11 came out I got the free upgrade from Win 10 to Windows 11 and that worked fine on my current device. This was circa 2021 .Now, My SSD hard disk suffered a fatal error and I have a new SSD hard disk. All other aspects of my Hardware are the same. I believe I have the Windows 10 activation code

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

Like Pill Monster said no more Windows 10 keys for Insiders. It was on Microsoft Blog they said that all that stuff is tied to one machine. You can upgrade anytime but never make a clean install. Those people who upgraded from 7 or 8.1 to 10 can do a clean install of RTM and post-RTM builds. A friend of mine upgraded from RTM to 10533 or whatever the latest post-RTM build is (and it activated just fine).

After all MS isn't stupid to give Windows 10 for free.

 

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

This kinda sucks. However, if one is upgrading from a retail W7/8, then it should activate on different hardware, with possible phone activation required if it's been over 120 days or whatever the timeout period is now since the last activation. Remember to erase the copy on the old hardware, of course.

If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

• Go to Start
  
  , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
• Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.
  
  Note
  • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack
