Windows 10: Issues with getting Windows 11 activated

I own 4 stand alone licenses for Windows. Each time there is an upgrade for some reason I need to purchase an additional license. These are retail licenses and NOT OEM and they ARE NOT TIED TO HARDWARE. I have a Windows XP Pro, 2 Windows 7 Pro and a Windows 8 Pro Licenses. These were ALL used as Virtual Machines in VMWARE Fusion on a Mac. Now I am being told that my Windows 8 Pro License, upgraded to Windows 10, is not eligible for an upgrade to Windows 11 because MS only allows one free upgrade per hardware. Here is the issue. The VM that is running Windows 10 is using MBR is on standard firm

Windows 10 not getting activated.

Hi Johncy,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I can imagine the inconvenience you have experienced. I will definitely help you with this.

To guide you in right direction we want to know:

• Have you activated your Previous version of Windows?

Windows is not activated as your previous version of Windows, your device was not activated prior to upgrade to Windows 10

We suggest you to follow the below steps and check:

• Go to Start.
• Select Settings .
• Go to Update & security.
• Go Activation .
• Click Change product key.
• Enter your Windows 10, Windows 8 or Windows 7 and click Next
  to complete activation.

If the issue still persist get back to us.

Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
