Event 300 on Office 2016 - failing to activate

Question

Recently my desktop died. The old DeskTop was running win10 and I had office 2015 installed. I cloned the disk from the old DT and moved it to a new computer which is running win11. When I go to run the office products, it tells me i need to activite office. I choose to use the option to activate online. But I keep getting this error below: What is causing the error and how can I fix it?
