    Hello all,I recently built a PC and installed Windows 11 on it without a product key. I have ensured that all windows updates have taken place and I bought a digital license from the Microsoft Store but it has yet to activate windows. I am seeing this error on the activation page of my PC. Even after buying windows 11 in the Microsoft Store.

    :)

    Having trouble activating windows, Error: 0x803fa067

    Can you remember whether the Windows version with the old hardware was Home or Pro?

    More suggestions:

    Activate Your Windows 10 by Phone

    To activate your Win 10 by phone, follow these steps:

    Windows logo key + R -> Type ‘Slui 4’ into the Run box -> Enter

    Select your Country/Region from the list -> Next

    You will be given a toll-free phone number -> Use this number to get your confirmation ID -> Activate

    Note: Regrettably, this fix will not work if Windows 10 comes pre-installed on your PC.

    Trouble moving digital retail Windows license to new PC (activation fails)

    Hi.

    I have an insane trouble with Windows activation on new PC and could not find way of getting real support.

    Back in a day I purchased Windows 10 Pro license from Microsoft Store, so Digital Retail license.

    PC was updated to Windows 11 Pro and was working and activated.

    PC hardware become obsolete and built a new one.

    On the new PC I installed Windows 11 Pro and use my Microsoft account for login.

    Before doing so I deleted old PC from devices list on ttps://account.microsoft.com/devices.

    Unfortunately, Windows not activating. All troubleshooting steps from any articles from Microsoft - does not help.

    On old PC Windows still shows as activated, so probably license still consumed by it.

    It seem phone support does not exist anymore. I tried contacting support via Microsoft Help many times, provided my phone number, but all cases simply immediately closed right after opening with "issue resolved" status.

    So I completely stuck and don't understand what to do.

    Are there any way to get assistance from real support agent?
