I installed windows 11 on my power upgrade+ machine and it is now saying I have to activate it, I tried to contact Microsoft as per request of someone in just chat but they told me I’d have to buy windows 11?

ah yeah/ my windows tells me to activate it. i thought it wasn't activated. mayb4e i will try to activate it then. sometimes you just got to trouble shoot and it will realize it is indeed activated. i've tride to run the command to hide it. but it finds its way poping up again. the kill cammnd for expplorer may have been patched

#

how do you contact support wtih out having access to the email that was used to activate the machine?

#

what email?

#

the hint told me it was something like h******@outlook.com

#

Contact Shadow support. Not Windows support.

#

was i suppose to login with a microsoft email not a gmail email for shadow?

#

right im already doing it.

#

Your Windows login has no link with the issue.

#

If your Shadow's Windows isn't activated, please contact Shadow support. They should activate it for you. That's it.

#

how does the windows get activated? my windows is not paid. but i had to reinstall windows from windows 11 to 10 because it corrupted. and it says it is activated with a digital license

#

Just let the Shadow support deal with this.

#

thanks. i have a support ticket open as well.

#

#

will windows just stop working after 30 days or is that no longer the case?

#

No, there isn't stuff like that anymore.

#

There's just the watermark and some deactivated functionalities.

#

not that i use a microsoft account so i am limited anyways

#

How does not using a MS account limit your Windows usage ?

#

if you don't login you can't use some microsoft features

#

Which ones ?

#

like microsoft store. miscrosft help desk

#

You can use the Microsoft store without a MS account.
