    Can't find product key


    I have MacBook and installed Parallel and Windows 11. I purchased digital download for Windows 11. There was a page after payment with product key. I clicked Download and the product key was gone. I don't need to download since it's already installed by Parallel... but I can't find the product key. There was no confirmation email sent. I had used my @outlook email and already checked.

    :)

    Product Key Reactivation

    Hi

    Thanks for your reply.

    Reactivating Windows 11 after retrieving the motherboard key involves using the original product key or digital license associated with your system.

    Here are the steps to reactivate Windows 11:

    1. Open Settings:
      • Click on the Start button and select the gear icon to open "Settings."
    2. Navigate to Update & Security:
      • In the Settings menu, click on "Update & Security."
    3. Go to Activation:
      • In the left sidebar, select "Activation."
    4. Enter Product Key:
      • If you have a product key, click on "Change product key" and enter the key when prompted.
    5. Use Digital License:
      • If your Windows 11 was linked to your Microsoft account, you might see an option to troubleshoot and link your digital license. Click on this option and follow the prompts.
    6. Restart Your Computer:
      • After entering the product key or linking your digital license, restart your computer.
    7. Verification:
      • Go back to the Activation section in Settings to verify that Windows 11 is now activated.
