    Hi Rahul Rao,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty activating Windows on your device. To better assist you, can you please tell me if you're trying to activate Windows Home or upgrading to Pro? If you have bought a digital license or a product key, and from which retailer?

    While waiting for the information, here's something I can suggest you try out:

    1 - Use a genuine Product key to activate your Windows:

    • Go to Settings > System > Activation > Change product key
    • Enter your 25-character genuine product key and follow the prompts.
    • For a new pre-built PC, the key is often embedded in the motherboard and should have been automatically activated:
      • You can self-check it by using PowerShell (Admin) > run the following command (Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey
    • Sign in with a Microsoft account to let Windows activate using the linked digital license.

    2 - Run the Activation troubleshooter if you had Windows activated on this PC before

    • Go to Settings > System > Activation > Troubleshoot
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    3 - Contact Microsoft Support

    If the troubleshooter fails or you're sure your PC should be activated, you should try to reach out to chat support or use the automated phone system for activation:

    1. Press Win + R > type slui 4 > Enter
    2. Select your country and call the provided toll-free number.
    3. An automated system will guide you to enter an Installation ID
    4. You will receive a Confirmation ID to type back into your PC to activate.

    Let us know if you need help finding your product key or if activation still doesn’t work after these steps. Please also note that keys sold on unofficial websites are often invalid, already used, or meant for enterprise volumes. Ensure you install the same Windows edition (Home, Pro) that your product key is for.

    If you don't have a valid license, you need to purchase one. The only safe and legal way is to buy a license from the official Microsoft Store or an authorized retailer. Get back to me with the previously noted information for further analysis! Thank you!
