I cant activate my installed windows 11

Hello William Larson,

If you've already installed Windows 11 but activation isn’t working, here are a few steps you can follow:

Go to Settings > System > Activation and check the activation status. It may show an error code that can help us troubleshoot.

Make sure you're connected to the internet and signed in with a Microsoft account.

If you upgraded from Windows 10, ensure that your previous version was activated — Windows 11 should carry over the digital license.

If you’re using a product key, double-check that it’s valid and matches the edition of Windows 11 you installed (e.g., Home vs Pro).

You can also run the Activation Troubleshooter from the same settings page to detect and fix common issues.

Let me know how it goes, and if this helps, feel free to hit “Accept Answer” so others can benefit too 😊 I’m happy to assist further if needed!
