I think it's a Microsoft issue, since it's Microsoft deciding there's been a hardware change and subsequently to void the activation. I'm sure they've got that covered in their T&C somewhere, but that doesn't automatically put MSI at fault.
Windows activation after bios update

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$

2024-08-02T10:29:57+00:00 After the bios update in the activation page on settings it showed me the 0x803f700f error.
After clicking troubleshoot and then selecting "I have changed my hardware recently" it would
come up with an error about contacting the activation servers.
I just got it working after talking with microsoft support by:
- Opening up the Microsoft Store from the computer.
- Logging in (or logging out and then in again - in my case I was not logged in the store after the bios update).
- Restarting the pc.
- Run the troubleshooting again for the activation and clicking on the I recently made a hardware change prompt.
It worked after that and the activation run smoothly.
