Hey, I bought windows 11 home yesterday and activated it on my freshly built computer. I then updated my BIOS, and now I've completely lost the activation. I've gone through the troubleshooters, and googled some online. I cant roll back the bios. What do?
Motherboard is an MSI z790, seems like this is a "common" issue with these boards, but my previous msi board never invalidated that OEM install.
Error code: 0xC004F211

Have you tried every single troubleshoot there is for activating a license?
icy ibex
as far as i know, yes
limber pond
So if you try to put in your activation code you just get that error message listed in your message?
icy ibex
i have a digital licence, no code
limber pond
wait but even with a digital license you should get a code to activate that license
icy ibex
where would that be? I just got the order id
limber pond
hop in my dm's real quick and send me a photo there of that email address. I don't want you to do that here because of privacy and security reasons
icy ibex
huh?
limber pond
if you show the email and the code is in there someone else can use that code so if you just send me a photo of the email you got where the order ID is in i can help you further
icy ibex
i'm not comfortable sharing that information with you, even in DMs. Where would the code be in the order confirmation? I can see that I bought it on my microsoft account

well i mean it should be highlighted somewhere and it is a 25 character code. You won't be able to miss it
