Windows 11 Insider Preview -

I am running Windows 11 Insider Preview via Parallels Desktop VM on a 2021 Macbook Pro with M1Max chip because that is the only Windows operating program that would install on the Macbook Pro when I purchased it.

My question is whether or not I can now activate a full copy of Windows 11 (2-2-2022 is the date) since the program keeps telling me to go to the Microsoft store to purchase a key or full copy. Which version I should "buy" and how that works, given I am already running Windows 11 Insider Preview which seems to not be able to be activated, is a complete obscure mystery.

Please advise on how to buy a key, how to either stay or not stay in Insider Preview mode. Simple instructions are needed even for the computer literate.

Thanks,

Problem activating Windows 11 after switching VMs

Hi there,

I purchased Windows 11 Home a couple of months ago and installed it on a VirtualBox VM. But VirtualBox was crashing quite a bit so I deactivated Windows 11 using the following commands:

• slmgr /upk
  
• slmgr /cpky
  

(as suggested on Redirecting ) and then installed it on a VMWare VM. Problem is, I can't activate Windows on the new VM even though it was deactivated on the old VM. I tried the recommended Troubleshooting Wizard solutions to no available and I couldn't find a Microsoft email address or support number, so I am posting here. Can anyone suggest how to contact Microsoft about this activation issue?

Thanks,

Darryl

PS: I have already deleted the old VM so I can't log back onto it.
