@akshay03,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If you reset your Victus by HP 16.1-inch Gaming Laptop and lost access to your Microsoft account, you have a few options to recover and activate it:

 Try to Recover Your Microsoft Account

If you forgot your email or password, try to recover your account:

• Go to Microsoft Account Recovery
• Enter your email, phone number, or Skype ID
• Follow the steps to reset your password

If you don’t remember your email:

• Go to Microsoft's Username Recovery Page
• Enter your phone number or backup email linked to your account
• Microsoft will send you a recovery code

Use a Different Microsoft Account

If you can't recover your old account, you can:

• Sign in with another Microsoft account
• Create a new account at Microsoft Sign-up

 Activate Windows

If your laptop came with pre-activated Windows, it should automatically activate when you sign in with your Microsoft account.
To check:

1. Open Settings → Update & Security → **Activation
2. If it says Windows is activated with a digital license, you're good to go.
3. If not, click Troubleshoot and follow the instructions.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
