Hello,
How did you obtain your license initially?
Did it come with the device preinstalled, or did you purchase it?
If you purchased it, did you purchase from Microsoft, or from third party?
Is it originally a Win7/8 key?
i agreed to windows 11 and now it is requiring a product key. #TooBusyForThis

My new computer said I needed to upgrade to Windows 11 since support for 10 was ending. I did. Now I'm required to find a product key or I don't have full functionality. This is clearly a Microsoft issue and not a manufacturer issue as so many others seem to have the issue, too. #Frustrated #TooBusyForThis
