Microsoft Windows 11

Unable to activate Windows 11 after upgrading from Windows 10.

 

We Can't activate Windows on this device because you don't have a valid digital license or product key. Error code: OxC004F012.

 

Tried troubleshooting and nothing helped. please help me with this.

You may have windows 10 home.  

 

Check your license key:  Go to microsoft store and download and run  ShowKeyPlus

for example from HP Z400

If you OEM license is 7 or 8 and is "pro" then use the Key shown to activate 11.
