Hello

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

The error code 0xc004F213 indicates that Windows can't find a valid product key on your device.

Here are some steps you can take to resolve this:

1. Go to Settings > System > Activation and click on Change Product Key. Re-enter your original product key again.
2. In the same Activation settings, click on Troubleshoot. This can sometimes resolve activation issues automatically.
3. Use Command Prompt: Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands:

slmgr.vbs /upk

slmgr.vbs /rilc

slmgr.vbs /ipk <your-product-key>

slmgr.vbs /ato

Replace <your-product-key> with your actual product key.

4. Ensure your device is linked to your Microsoft account. Sometimes, re-signing into your Microsoft account can help with activation issues.

I hope the information above is helpful.
