On the computer, the Windows 11 operating system can be activated in a few different ways. For a fresh installation, the user can proceed for a free trial without an activation key, but after a few weeks or months, they will need to activate the product.
If you have the license key from the installation procedure, activating Windows 11 is a simple process. However, if the product is deactivated automatically, it may be a little tricky. Windows 11 may lose its activation status if the user makes significant changes to the system, such as replacing the motherboard, CPU, and RAM. This is because Windows 11 may treat the modified system as a brand-new computer. In such a case, reactivating Windows 11 won’t require purchasing a new license key.
After making significant changes to the hardware, we’ll teach you how to quickly and easily reactivate the Windows 11 license on your computer without having to buy a new one in this step-by-step manual.
Step 1: Open the Settings application on your Windows 11-powered computer.
Step 2: When the app opens, select the “System” option from the left sidebar.
Step 3: In the System Settings window, click on the “Activation” option from the right-side pane.
Step 4: Under the Activation State section, click on the “Troubleshoot” button next to the “Windows reported that no product key was found on your device. Error code: 0xC004F213” warning text.
Step 5: In the Windows Activation window that opens, click the “I changed hardware on this device recently” link.
Step 6: After that, sign in with your Microsoft account credentials and then select the computer from the list and then click on the “Activate” button.
That’s it. Once you have followed the above-mentioned step-by-step process on your computer, then the Windows 11 operating system will be automatically activated on your device.
