Thank you for your Response! This device is a home pc and it not genuine. My Windows 11 is a Pro. Now, there is a watermark displayed on my monitor stating that "Activate Your Windows Go to Settings "If Windows is stating it cannot connect to your organisation’s servers then you’re running a volume license. Are you using a work PC or a Home pc? If you’re a home user then Microsoft consider this against their terms of use as you don’t have a genuine key/license.
Are you running Home or Pro?
Sir! The notification says "Access Denied"It seems the original OS is Home single language so you’d have to install this to activate Windows or purchase a Pro key.
You can try this to try & install Home SL:
1. Open an elevated command prompt
Type slmgr /ipk <ProductKey> (Replace <ProductKey> with one of these below)
- The key you found when running oemkey program.
-BT79Q-G7N6G-PGBYW-4YWX6-6F4BT – Use only if you have a Single Language edition
Reboot the PC. (Critical step. This will cause an activation event at next startup and will do many ‘background’ tasks necessary for successful activation)
Once in the OEM/Retail ‘channel’ activation will complete successfully using 1 of these methods
1. Automatic - No user interaction required. If the hardware has not changed and they had Windows 10 successfully installed and activated on this hardware, the Digital Entitlement will be found and brought back down to the PC.
2. Activation Troubleshooter – Automatic after customer presses button.
3. Manually changing to an OEM/Retail product key using Settings > Update & security > Activation > Change Product Key.
This is not the VLK you obtained from Amazon, eBay, Kinguin, etc.
This will require a OEM/Retail key. Comes from the OEM within the BIOS, from the packaging you bought in a Retail Store, or from the email you received from Microsoft Store.
