Hi @dotenv ,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

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

I understand you're having trouble with Windows activation on your HP 14s DQ2052TU laptop after installing Windows 11. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

Check Your Internet Connection: Make sure your internet connection is stable, as activation requires a reliable connection to the Microsoft servers.

Run the Windows Activation Troubleshooter:

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation.
• If the activation window is not opening, you might need to access the troubleshooter from another method.
• Search for "Activation troubleshooter" in the Start menu search bar and run it.

Verify Your Product Key: Ensure you are using a valid Windows 11 product key. If you have a key, you can manually enter it:

• Go to Settings > System > Activation.
• Click on the Change product key and enter your valid key.

Reinstall the Activation Service:

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator (right-click on the Start button and select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin)).
• Run the following commands one by one: slmgr /rearm
  slmgr /ato
   
• Restart your computer after running these commands.

Update Windows:

• Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for updates. Install any available updates, as they may include fixes for activation issues.

Reinstall Windows 11: If none of the above steps work, consider performing a clean install of Windows 11. Sometimes a fresh installation can resolve activation problems.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
