Hi , first of all thanks for your help

i have the next problem:

We can't activate Windows on this device as we can't connect to your organization's activation server.
Make sure you're connected to your organization's network and try again. If you continue having
problems with activation, contact your organization's support person. Error code: 0x8007007B

when i push troubleshoot the answer is that we found a windows 11 home digital license for this device running windows 11 Pro., to activate using this digital license you need to install windows 11 home.

also mention

you can also activate this device by going to the store and purchasing a genuine copy of windows.

finally here comes my question

im willing to buy it but do i need to install windows again or just enter the new product key will be enough?

thanks for the help

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

That error indicates the wrong version of Windows is installed on your PC, you have a Windows 11 Home licence and the Pro version is installed.

1

If you backup your files and clean install Windows Home using a bootable Windows 11 USB, then that version of Windows will automatically activate from the OEM licence on your motherboard.

2

Otherwise, you would need to purchase a Windows 11 Pro licence and use the product key to activate the currently installed Windows 11 Pro, in this case, you would not need to re-install Windows.
