Answer 2

To request a refund for a Windows 11 purchase made through Microsoft Store, use the Microsoft refund process for apps and digital goods:

1. Go to the Microsoft Store/Xbox refund page: Request a refund for digital games and sign in with the same Microsoft account used to buy Windows 11.
2. Select the Windows 11 purchase from the list of orders.
3. Choose Request a refund.
4. Provide the reason (for example, that Windows 11 cannot be downloaded) and select Next.
5. Review the details and select Submit.

Refund requests are typically processed within about 72 hours. Refunds are generally applied back to the original payment method within 3–5 business days once approved.

If the online refund option is not available in the region, contact Sales support using the link in the same article.

Note: Digital goods are not always refundable; eligibility depends on the specific offer and applicable law.
