Windows 10: Windows 11 not active after BIOS update

I recently updated my BIOS for the motherboard and now I'm trying to get my windows active again. I am getting the error code 0xC004C008. This was a physical copy of windows 11 home I used. I installed it and it was linked with my Microsoft account. Then I updated my BIOS. When I use the troubleshoot, I changed hardware on this device recently, it shows a different computer of mine that is using windows 10 but my windows 11 install. Any thoughts?

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.
