I have recently upgraded my PC with new CPU, mainboard, RAM, etc.

The only things I kept from my old PC was my Storage drives. Especially the one containing Windows.

So, obviously, my PC had all my data, booted on my Windows 11 home(which I upgraded to from Windows 10, which I upgraded from Windows 7, which I paid for and have a license key and receipt for) and wants me to register my license again.

I have read, in one of your help articles, that the system might not recognize my online license if the windows was booted from the motherboard, but it is not the case here.

I have booted from the same storage drive which had my windows.

Let me know what can be done, (I have tried everything on this site except buying a new license) and thanks for your time and help.

Hello

You can no longer use a license upgraded from Windows 7 or 8 to activate Windows 11. This is a loophole Microsoft closed not too long ago. The upgrade is meant for Windows 10, not for Windows 11.

I did not use my Windows 7 key to activate Windows 11.

I was offered an upgrade to Windows 10, took it, my license then became tied to my account.

I was offered again an upgrade to Windows 11, and I did, activating Windows 11 with my Microsoft account. I have changed my motherboards multiple times, and had activated my Windows 11 without any problem until this moment.

Do you mean that Windows 11 doesn't support licenses that were upgraded from Windows7, even if it was upgraded to Windows 10 before upgrading to Windows 11?

Also attaching slmgr /dlv screenshot if it helps.

원래 Windows 7 라이선스를 사용하라는 게 아니라, Windows 7에서 업그레이드된 라이선스를 사용했다는 뜻입니다. 이 라이선스는 더 이상 Windows 11 정품 인증을 지원하지 않습니다. 과거에는 가능했을지 모르지만, Microsoft에서 최근에 막아버린 허점입니다.
