Windows 10: Unable to activate Windows 11 Pro on new PC using digital license

Hi,I've faced an issue trying to activate Windows 11 Pro on a new PC. I have purchased a digital Windows 11Pro license on the Microsoft Online Store and it's listed in orders history. When installing Windows 11 Pro on my PC I logged in using the Microsoft account the license was purchased for. Unfortunately, my copy of Windows was not activated automatically about four days after installation and the Activation tab shows a 0xC004F213 error first screenshot. Troubleshoot action gets nothing but the message "We weren't able to activate Windows on this device" and I cannot enter a product key

Unlink Windows 11 Pro Digital License

Thanks so much for your help. That really clarifies my situation.

Using this article as a guide, my plan is to:

1. Replace Windows 11 with Ubuntu on the laptop that currently has the Windows 11 Pro retail digital license activated on it (even if reverting to Windows Home is an option, I just prefer Ubuntu on this computer for a programming environment). I will not yet remove the 'device' in my Windows account.
   
2. After assembling my new PC, I will install Windows 11 via a USB drive.
   
3. When prompted I will choose the "I don't have a key option"
   
4. I will log in with my Microsoft account
   
5. I will go to Activation Settings > Troubleshoot
   
6. I will click "I changed hardware on this device recently"
   
7. I will chose the new PC from the list of available PCs
   
8. I will check "This is the device I'm using right now" and click "Activate." This will enable Windows 11 Pro on the new PC and deactivate the installation on the old laptop (which at this point will be running Ubuntu anyways)
   

Does that sounds like a good plan?

 

Trouble moving digital retail Windows license to new PC (activation fails)

Hi.

I have an insane trouble with Windows activation on new PC and could not find way of getting real support.

Back in a day I purchased Windows 10 Pro license from Microsoft Store, so Digital Retail license.

PC was updated to Windows 11 Pro and was working and activated.

PC hardware become obsolete and built a new one.

On the new PC I installed Windows 11 Pro and use my Microsoft account for login.

Before doing so I deleted old PC from devices list on ttps://account.microsoft.com/devices.

Unfortunately, Windows not activating. All troubleshooting steps from any articles from Microsoft - does not help.

On old PC Windows still shows as activated, so probably license still consumed by it.

It seem phone support does not exist anymore. I tried contacting support via Microsoft Help many times, provided my phone number, but all cases simply immediately closed right after opening with "issue resolved" status.

So I completely stuck and don't understand what to do.

Are there any way to get assistance from real support agent?
