Cant Activate Windows 11 after BIOS Update !

Please see my post from September 25, 2024. Call Customer support and have them fix it online for you. Purchasing a license for Windows 11 just buys you a digital license which will not activate. Apparently, you cannot purchase a legacy license with a manual key. However, support can and they can activate your version of Windows 11while you have them with you logged in to your computer. They can also give you a refund for the digital license right then and there. Have all the purchasing confirmations handy. They have been very courteous with me through this process. If you have updated for free from the Windows 7/8 days to Windows 11, then a BIOS update will invalidate you activation and you will have to buy a license at that time- regardless of CPU used. With a next BIOS update you will have the registration key handy for reactivation should things not go as scheduled.

I am having this same issue. I have had to update my bios twice due to intel 14th gen issues. I re-purchased another Pro license after the first update but I am not paying a 3rd time because of this issue. Microsoft and Intel need to figure this out.

Either send me a new activation key or resolve it using one of the two licenses I have already paid for.

Thanks! This worked for me!

My Windows 11 also came to a halt today after a Gigabyte MB BIOS update. To make a long story short, BIOS updates deactivate Windows in most cases. Microsoft has apparently discontinued the servers for those of us that upgraded back from Windows 7/8. They discontinued Windows 7. Apparently, our upgraded licenses were invalidated with that move and we have no way to get them back. I had to purchase another PRO license through the MS Store in Activation troubleshooting. Unfortunately, that was a 'digital license' which did not activate my Windows either and hung at 'Try again'. Product support refunded this purchase. I then purchased a 'product key license' through them which reactivated my Windows again. What a sorry move of Microsoft to make it so complicated! Product Support was very helpful though. Sorry for the bad news.

The same, but you can't pick +354 for Iceland. I can find Afghanistan, but not Iceland, on the list. Do you have any idea how I can contact support without this prejudiced interface?
