Windows 10: Having issues re-activating Windows 11 in Proxmox VM... error code: 0xC004F213

Hello,I'm trying to learn Proxmox, and doing PCI passthrough to a Windows VM was on the todo list. So I purchased a license from MS in Sept., from the MS website. Had issues with the VM, so I nuked it, and tried again. Since then, I've never been able to re-activate windows. It still shows as a "device" on my account on Microsoft's site, but when I try to use the troubleshooter inside windows, the correct "device" doesn't appear I have another license tied to a Parallels VM that does appear.Anyone have any ideas?Thanks in advanceSDLeary

How do I move my Windows installation into a VM, in my case Proxmox?

I bought Windows 10 many years ago, installed it, and upgraded it to Windows 11. A couple of months ago got a new computer, and I could reactivate the license letting the system know I had a new computer.

I made a test installation of Proxmox on this new machine, and installed Windows as a VM. However, it didn't want to activate. Saying I have new hardware didn't help, but I do. I have better hardware now which prompted me to try out Proxmox with a lot of Linux VMs on it. It's just about one Windows VM for games, the rest is Linux for work and hobby.

So, what do I need to do to make my Windows 11 activate under Proxmox as a VM?

I have recently installed Proxmox on my home server, and after that, I installed Windows 11 as my main VM.

unfortunately, I'm not able to activate it with my Microsoft account.

I believe the reason is that the UUID is changed for sure.

so my question is, is there any way around this?

Is it possible to contact Microsoft support so they can provide my UUID so I can add it to my VM settings?
