    My upgrade asks me for an activation in Windows 11


    HelloI had a version of Windows 10 pro and just did a reinitialization of my hard drive i.e. A clean install. After the initialization and a clean install, Windows was asking me for an activation code. I was not able to find it. I was told that Windows 11 was free so I decided to upgrade my machine to Windows 11. After the upgrade I still keep on getting the demand for an activation code.Error code 0x0803FABB8I have tried every solution you have given online by the way.What is going on? I bought a fully legitimate copy of Windows 10 it might have been an upgrade from Windows 8 though in 201

    :)

    Upgrading to windows 11

    I have a few questions about windows 11...

    1. How many GB it is? when my pc suggested the upgrade yesterday, it said it's about 4GB just want to be sure.
    2. I'm using a windows 10 pro so if I upgrade, will it upgrade to a windows 11 pro?

    Windows 11 Home to Pro upgrade

    Want to upgrade 11 Home to 11 Pro. Tried download, but apparently files transferred were for 11 Enterprise. This will not activate; error is "invalid digital license or product key". This is on a new Surface. How to proceed?

    Can withdraw/delete this. The suggestion to downgrade - listed below - with a 'fake' windows 10 key works.

    Upgrade to Windows 11

    I want to upgrade my OS from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I have run the compatibility software and got the message that says my Windows 10 software is not compatible with upgrading to Windows 11. I'm looking for a point & click application that will make my Windows 10 OS upgradable to Windows 11 or a file that will provide step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish the upgrade to Windows 11. I expect a list of files/applications that will not run in Windows 11 because my PC is not capable of running the new applications w/o hardware upgrades.
