Hi:

 

If you can't activate Windows, see if this works...

 

Change the installed key to the OEM key in the PC's settings menu and see if you can activate Windows using the OEM key.

Did your machine run Windows 11 before ? How did you install Windows 10 ? No need to activate Windows at al, it should activate itself automatically using the key which is embedded in BIOS.

 

Must be something wrong on your process to replace the hard drive. What is the key in BIOS now ?  Please use the following way to find out
