  1. Latest windows update has deactivated windows 11 pro :/ how to reactivate?


    I have a digital licence for win 11 pro and after last update showing as "not active". tried rebooting, no change. tried "troubleshoot" in activation, says "We weren't able to activate windows on this device"I've even tried "I recently changed hardware on this device" and the machine/ licence isn't in the list, presumably because it was never linked to my microsoft account I didn't realise I had to, and I don't know how.I'm guessing that I'm going to get rinsed for a new licence £220 for something I've already paid for. If there is a way to recover my license, please let me know.Many thank

    :)

    Deactivating and Reactivating Microsoft Windows 11 Pro

    My previous laptop just died on me and so I recently switched to a new laptop. On my previous laptop I had Microsoft Windows 11 Pro and on this one I have Microsoft Windows 11 Home. I was wondering if there was a way I could deactivate it on my previous laptop and then reactivate it on my new laptop. I still have the product key but it won't let me upgrade. I have attached the error message I keep receiving.

  3. Updated Bios and Microsoft deactivated my Windows 11 Pro License,

    After I updated my motherboard BIOS Microsoft deactivated my legal purchased WIN11 Pro 23H2 licence. My legal copy of WIn11 displays Activate Windows Go to settings to activate Windows. I cannot activate Windows.

    It had been working previously as an activated copy of Win11.

    I have contacted support but still awaiting a response Latest windows update has deactivated windows 11 pro :/ how to reactivate? :(
    I am very disappointed that updating the motherboard BIOS deactivates Windows 11 & can see there are other people complaining about this.

    Microsoft you need to reactivate my copy of Win!!

    Kind regards

    I can't reactivate Windows 11 Pro in Virtual Machine

    I have bought Microsoft License Windows 11 Pro. I created VM with Windows 11 Pro in KVM and activated then.

    But I lost my data in SSD and the image with Activated Windows 11 Pro have been lost as well.

    And now, when New VM Windows 11 Pro was created I can't activate it. I got error code 0xC004C008.

    I didn't use Microsoft account in the first virtual machine and I can't make deactivate old VM with account.

    How can I reactivate in this case?
