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

    Adding to the pile, I just updated, and same issue here. Needed to roll back to the previous version to keep it working and now widgets have somehow disabled itself.

    I had the same problem - it's these issues that cause people to delay updates. I even took the step to register my device thinking it would safeguard this type of problem, but it wouldn't recognize my machine as valid. Fortunately I had my old documentations and it accepted my same key. But I can see how this will be a major issue for people who are less tech savvy, or have misplaced their docs. In this era, for a tech company to require someone to have a long keystring secured away is crazy.

    Sorry, I was offline, is this the key you are trying to re-activate Windows with?
