I updated my computer today to 24H2 and after it rebooted it requested me to activate my copy of Windows Home. I attempted to using the key that I have but it says that it can't.

I have inserted a screenshot below. If you need any further information please let me know.

cheers

    Unfortunately this does not help at least me, because OA3xOriginalProductKey is empty.

    Workaround:

    Reveal licenskey on local pc:

    search powershell

    run as Administrator

    powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey"

    Reactivated windows with this key, work for me.

    Hello, I am having the exact same issue. I bought mine with it pre-installed. They activated it for me, but did not leave me with any card that had the product key on it.

    After it updated, it is telling me to Activate Windows, but when I try to run the troubleshoot, it does not work.

    The last 5 of my Product Key are 2YT43, if that helps.

    I tried running those commands you put, but it didn't work.

    Update: just re-inserted the serial number that came with the computer and it worked. It's activated again.
