I never received a confirmation email with my product keys for my Windows 11 Pro purchase. How do I get my product keys? Can a new email be generated?

    Hi, good day!

    If you purchased Windows 11 Pro directly from Microsoft, you typically won't receive a product key by email. Instead, the license is usually provided as a digital license that's linked to the Microsoft account you used for the purchase.

    To better understand what's happening, could you let me know

    • Where did you purchase Windows 11 Pro (Microsoft Store or another retailer)?
    • Were you signed in with your Microsoft account when you made the purchase?
    • What does Settings > System > Activation show, and are you seeing any activation error messages?

    I look forward to your update and am willing to collaborate with you until we resolve the issue. Keep me posted by clicking "Add comments" below.
