Computer is bricked after windows update

Question

I just opened my laptop to do some work and windows said updates were required. Actually, I didn't even want to update, but it said "the maximum pause limit for updates has been reached" or something like that, so I just updated.

Two minutes later and my laptop is a brick. Will not turn on, the charging indicator light isn't doing anything, it seems completely busted.

Thanks very much Microsoft. Not only am I served more ads than ever, and my computer updates itself in the middle of the night when important programs are running losing work, now you're straight up destroying my machines. Guess it's time to move to linux where I actually control what's happening, rather than you telling me what's best for me.

Answer 1

It came with Windows 11 installed. Sorry, but where exactly can I enter the product key if the entire computer doesn't work at all?

Did the PC come with Windows 10 installed and activated?

Or it has Windows 7 installed?

In case, Windows 7 has been installed and upgraded to Windows 10 and it was activated, then you may enter the Windows 7 product key.
