My computer running windows 11 free download was hit by lightning and damaged my motherboard. I was able to replace motherboard, processor, and memory. I used existing hard drive and windows 11 OS. Everything works fine but I am unable to activate windows. I have tried everything available with no help.

    How do I contact MS support directly?

    In that case, the only option is to contact Microsoft support directly, if you have a retail licence, they should be able to find it on your account and reactivate Windows for you.

    I have tried that and it doesn’t list anything. I have entered all the commands through help ai and no help.

    Ik denk dat ik nog steeds niet ben aangemeld bij Microsoft

    I purchased 10. Can’t remember when or where. It was not already loaded.
