laptop that I'm retiring
Generally speaking a windows OEM license dies with the hardware.
Looks like I'm going to have to pay for another license.
That's probably correct though you can confirm with the OEM provider.

What happens when you try?
slmgr /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
slmgr /ato
Might also check the edition installed aligns with the product key edition.

i Thanks for your support! I get the following error with your singr expression:
'singr' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'singr' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
No doubt, check your spelling
Your right, I totally misspelled the command, however I get a different error code now.
Was this a clean install? Are you using the OEMs install media?

This was a clean install/ Just built this computer on Monday. The laptop that I'm retiring is the one running windows 11 pro. I upgraded the laptop from windows 10 pro to windows 11 pro.
Looks like I'm going to have to pay for another license.
