Windows 10: Windows 11 deactivated itself - how to reactivate?

After updating my system, my Windows 11 has decided to deactivate itself. Trying to run troubleshooter gets me nowhere.

Deactivating and Reactivating Microsoft Windows 11 Pro

My previous laptop just died on me and so I recently switched to a new laptop. On my previous laptop I had Microsoft Windows 11 Pro and on this one I have Microsoft Windows 11 Home. I was wondering if there was a way I could deactivate it on my previous laptop and then reactivate it on my new laptop. I still have the product key but it won't let me upgrade. I have attached the error message I keep receiving.

Product Key Reactivation

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

Reactivating Windows 11 after retrieving the motherboard key involves using the original product key or digital license associated with your system.

Here are the steps to reactivate Windows 11:

1. Open Settings:
   
   • Click on the Start button and select the gear icon to open "Settings."
     
2. Navigate to Update & Security:
   
   • In the Settings menu, click on "Update & Security."
     
3. Go to Activation:
   
   • In the left sidebar, select "Activation."
     
4. Enter Product Key:
   
   • If you have a product key, click on "Change product key" and enter the key when prompted.
     
5. Use Digital License:
   
   • If your Windows 11 was linked to your Microsoft account, you might see an option to troubleshoot and link your digital license. Click on this option and follow the prompts.
     
6. Restart Your Computer:
   
   • After entering the product key or linking your digital license, restart your computer.
     
7. Verification:
   
   • Go back to the Activation section in Settings to verify that Windows 11 is now activated.
