    It came with my prebuilt PC about 2 years ago and i haven't had any problems with the license until recently. The problem has only been about the past month. However, about 5 months ago i got a windows notification offering me to upgrade to windows 11 for free so i did. but even after that it was fine for a few months.

    Thanks for the pictures

    According to the activation information you provided, you are currently using the Windows Core Edition, which is usually the Home Edition.

    The activation channel is VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel, which means this is a Windows version activated through volume licensing and KMS customer channels.

    According to the error message, it seems that there is a problem with your activation status. May I know where you purchased the license? From the Microsoft Store or a third-party store?
