    Windows 11 Pro Upgrade from Windows 10 Pro Edition

    No but after it installed the malfunctioning Windows 11 upgrade it was listed as Windows 11 Pro. Microsoft Windows support advised I reinstall Windows 10 Pro and said that Windows 11 is really only meant for new PC's that come with it preinstalled. MSI website doesn't list my 2020 GT76 Titan dt-039 notebook on their Windows 11 upgrade eligibility list so I guess that's why the Windows 11 Pro upgrade failed. I suggest being careful with trying the Windows 11 upgrade despite it stating my notebook was capable of running Windows 11 it was wrong. Luckily I have the original Windows 10 Pro USB Flash drive because the Windows 11 Pro upgrade was so incomplete I had no way of reverting notebook back to Windows 10 without reinstalling from a USB Flash.

  3. 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?
