    Windows 11 not activating after reinstalling after changing hardware


    I built a new PC about 2 months ago installed/activated windows 11 but had some issues with the drive.After taking out the storage putting in a new ssd and installing the same copy of windows I cannot activate it. I have been through the troubleshooter countless times saying there should be no issues. I am using the same microsoft account. the only hardware change is the drive. I have spent a few hours going through the awful support website and trying to reach a human who would be able to fix this issue in 2 minutes.Why wont my windows activate?How can I activate my copy of windows without pu

    :)
