Thanks, I just restarted my pc and now I can activate. Now it shows it activated once again.
Anytime! Thanks for watching
nope, didnt work for me after i updated my bios...
MS is using the hardware change to effectively extort $200 for a new license on a system already linked to an account. This leaves the user with either dropping MS as a platform (going Linux), or paying up. For the record calling MS support, the agents you speak to while polite (if you can get thru to one) will basically tell you the same thing.
Microsoft’s activation policies can be strict after hardware changes. Sometimes, linking your license to a Microsoft account helps, but if not, contacting support may always be helpful. Definitely understand why some consider switching to Linux.(We have new videos on Linux on our channel ) Subscribe for more

what do i do if i cant even open the "Open get help" or "contact support to get help" it just says "try again later, something went wrong"
It looks like you might be having some trouble connecting. Microsoft servers can get backed up sometimes. No worries, just try signing in again in a few minutes and it should work!
@@SidTheGeek have tried a few times a day the last 2 days and still nothing :/ have tried to contact costumer support but they haven’t responded yet
Guess I have to call windows. I saw duplicate devices, removed all 3 of them and then changed the name of my PC to avoid confusion and now I see it in my ms account when I log in but not in the list of devices when I want to activate windows. Thank you for your help though to confirm I’ve exhausted my options.
Glad to hear that it helped! this will make my day even better
@@SidTheGeek So might be worth making a video if you like that's quite unique about how to contact MS in 2024 considering the only way that's immedietely obvious is through opening a service request that takes 16+ days apparantly. It's hidden away but I can send you info per what MS told me on twitter if you like. I couldn't find any info on google or youtube about this, let me know if you're interested. That's how I got my windows activation issue solved.
@@johndarland3633 Please do share if you can, I'm currently trying to get in contact with Microsoft about my activation issues but the damn phone number keeps you in a loop of multiple options and the service request has given me nothing.
@@johndarland3633 share brother
