After updating the bios, im unable to activate windows 11, which was already activated. You're telling me I can't update the bios without windows freaking out. I paid for this product and now the only thing the troubleshooter is telling me to do is to just buy another product key. How the hell do I go about fixing this since windows services is just an utter joke? I'm constantly having to deal with fixing **** issues with windows 11. This product is a big joke. The "get help" app does nothing but direct me to exactly what their windows activation page is on the website.
Contacting support did nothing. They told me it's not their issue. Quality service M$

I always make sure all my devices are in my Microsoft account online and delete the ones that are not needed.
Print out all activation codes and hang them on the wall
Other than that, it is a **** shoot!
Bios issues
No Notice security upgrades (be sure you have all the unlock codes printed out for each device)
Sometimes you can get a free one and only one by logging a hardware change
