Windows 10: Windows 11 Activation issue: 0x80070520

So I got this completely custom computer about 4ish years ago and I wanna activate Windows 11 Home by phone. However when I follow the steps in an official Microsoft guide Guide here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/35f6a805-1259-88b4-f5e9-b52cccef91a0, I do not see the Activate by phone option. I instead see a troubleshooting option and it displays this error on the troubleshooting screen: 0x80070520. This computer has been through the Erase all installed apps option from Recovery settings, so maybe that could change the computers options in some way? I have no idea. Please help.

Activating windows 10 0x8007000D and 0x80070520

Hello forums,

Currently having an issue here

I re installed a Lenovo X1 Yoga with a Windows 10 USB - it did have Windows 10 on it from Lenovo (I assume digital license)

Once reloaded, I cannot activate the Windows 10 with the digital license

These are the error codes: 0x8007000D and 0x80070520

Thanks everyone for looking,

David
