  1. Windows 11 won't activate with Microsoft account after move from Win 10 on another computer


    Hi, I am having trouble with activation my Windows 11.I had a Windows 10 Pro licence that I got from my university and it is tied to my Microsoft account.I used the slmgr.vbs /upk command on my old PC and it removed the licence successfully. I then installed Windows 11 on my new computer, clicked the "I don't have a product key" option, signed in with my Microsoft account no problems here.I then get to the settings, where it says that Windows is not activated.I click the button for troubleshooting, then a window appears that says that Windows could not be activated in this device.I don't know

    :)

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Windows 11 won't activate with Microsoft account after move from Win 10 on another computer :(

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    Hi!

    I signed up in the windows insider program and got windows 10 free - the windows 10 insider preview updated to windows 10 pro.
    Today i got another SSD and did a raid 0 on my system forcing me to do a clean install of windows but now it wont activate anymore.
    Signing in with my microsoft account that was linked to the insider program didnt help.
    Maybe i got this problem since i quit the insider program for several days and signed up again after i found out that my win 10 wont activate anymore.
    Any ideas how to fix it?

    I bought Windows 7 Pro OEM key from G2Play.net for 12€ to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro - worked like a charm but be advised if you buy a OEM key you can not download the Win 7 iso from microsoft and have to get it elsewhere.
