    So after updating my BIOS and adding another stick of RAM to my PC, it suddenly notifies that I need to reactivate Windows again. But after entering my product key, it still says "We can't activate Windows on this device"

  2. Cant Activate Windows 11 after BIOS Update !

    Updating your motherboard's BIOS should not affect your Windows 11 activation, as activation is tied to your Microsoft account, not your hardware. However, it's possible that something went wrong during the BIOS update that caused your Windows 11 activation to be lost.

    To resolve the issue, you can try the following:

    1. Check that you're signed in to Windows 11 with the same Microsoft account you used to activate it.
    2. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation and click on "Troubleshoot" to run the activation troubleshooter. Follow the on-screen instructions and select "I recently changed hardware on this device" when prompted.
    3. If the troubleshooter doesn't work, try using the "Change product key" option in the Activation settings to manually enter your product key. You can find your product key on the Windows 11 packaging or in the email from Microsoft when you purchased the license.
    Let me know if you need further help.
