    Windows 11 doesnt activate after purchasing it through the store


    I bought windows 11 through the store yesterday and after the payment went through I got the message in the store that it couldn't activate with a try again button, clicking this button did nothing. I can see the purchase in my orders list.Today I tried:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cant-activate-windows-11-home-with-digital-license/b40a12fa-66c1-449a-a7ab-823161d4465eI get the following message: Unable to activate Windows: We can't find any devices linked to your Microsoft account...When I now visit the store it's asking me to buy a license again:

    Cannot activate Win10 Pro after Microsoft Store app purchase

    Hello guys, My laptop came pre-installed with Win10 Home 64bit and I recently purchased a Win 10/11 Pro licence from the Microsoft Store app. Unfortunately, having some issues activating the digital licence for Win10 Pro. Here is the situation:
    • Logged into Microsoft account used for the purchase (also received the email receipt of the purchase)
    • Already connected to stable internet
    What I tried so far: Entering the Win10 Pro generic key: Received error 0x800700005:
    Windows 11 doesnt activate after purchasing it through the store 45561t-cannot-activate-win10-pro-after-microsoft-store-app-purchase-annotation-2021-10-29-043622.png
    Clicking Close returned another error 0xC004F034:
    Windows 11 doesnt activate after purchasing it through the store 45673t-cannot-activate-win10-pro-after-microsoft-store-app-purchase-annotation-2021-10-29-043726.png
    Clicking Troubleshoot re-activated my Win10 Home so still not on Pro. Thanks for any help. [FIXED] Win 10 Pro suddenly became Win 10 Ent from MS Store app: Jump to solution - Cannot activate Win10 Pro after Microsoft Store app purchase Sources:

    Cannot activate Win10 Pro after Microsoft Store app purchase  

    So I guess my suggestion of calling Microsoft and telling them you can't activate your purchased OS from their store doesn't count? *Huh

    Online activation and purchase of Windows 10 using PPPOE and MS Store

    I have installed a Windows 10 Home using media creation tool from Microsoft. Now I would like to activate it and purchase the valid key. So, I step into Parameters > Activation and select there a Go to Microsoft Store entry. The window with MS store page opens, but when I click on Buy option I get an error code 0x800713AB with a description "Internet Connection required".

    Obviously, I am connected to Internet.
    But I am using a PPPOE connection which is rather good and MS store page can be opened in browser (although price there is different (higher), heh).

    If this may be helpful, after boot I am connecting ("dialing") to my connection manually, this is fine for me. Another interesting feature: in Control Panel > Network and Internet I have a "no Internet Access" notice, but everything works fine. I was also able to install some application from MS Store, although got the same error message, but it installed and worked.

    So, how do I get past the 0x800713AB error message and purchase the activation key with usage desktop version of Microsoft Store?
