  1. How to reactivate Windows 11


    I built my pc in 2023 and have had no problems with windows until today. I updated my pc last night and when I turned it on today, it says I need to reactivate windows 11. I purchased a physical product key from Amazon when I built the PC and have since thrown that product key away not thinking id need it again. When I try to trouble shoot in settings, it says that it cannot activate windows. The error code it provides me with is 0xC004F213.I opened command prompt and ran slmgr /dlv and it shows a partial product key in the popup. Id rather not unnecessarily spend the money to get another prod

  2. 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.
