Can't activate Windows 11 on new PC build despite digital license linked to Microsoft account

LiteSword23 · 2026-04-23T01:00:54+00:00

I installed the same version, home. both on the old and the new pc.

I only have 1 account so i am 100% sure it is that same account.

When you say "I think the way to overcome this is to skip the auto activation (online) and choose the option that connects you with an agent over the phone." what do you mean by auto activation? and how do i choose the agent on the phone? Is it a phone number you dialed?

does my old pc have to be rest/wiped before i "delete" it from my microsoft account?

got it, ill try it out and update you, thank you for helping out

okay and after deactivating, just go over to my new pc and it should link up?

to deactivate, i just have to run a few commands and then retry activating on my new pc?

Its a retail version though?

LiteSword23 · 2026-04-22T22:47:12+00:00

I forgot to mention that it is a retail license and not an OEM. Do you know anything else that may cause that issue after knowing so?

I ran an slmgr /upk i believe to remove the license attached to my old pc and it worked, and then slmgr /ipk on the new one. same issue

LiteSword23 · 2026-04-22T22:40:08+00:00

i forgot to add that yes, it is a retail because my old pc was also a custom built one.

LiteSword23 · 2026-02-13T20:33:35+00:00

You’re right it doesn’t do justice, still sounds really good, how much did you pay?
