I'm back. After several days where I didn't have time to work on this issue, I finally arranged some time today. It finally works and I have an activated Windows 11 Pro on my desktop. I had to dig up my Linux laptop to be able to look for tutorials because first it wasn't working, then it just...

I have Pro. Although right now it feels like a beginner edition 🤦‍♀️ No success in cloning the current SSD. @Collected1 what app did you use to clone your SSD? I was using this Macrium Reflect Home but I can't get it to work.

@BamaInArk I've had the same results as @Collected1 when doing a clean install without internet access/MS account. It didn't change anything and I still can't activate my new SSD. I'm still waiting on the SSD case which is supposed to arrive anytime now, but I won't have the time to test it...

Thank you for the welcome! This has been so far the place I've found with the most sensible answers about this issue. The guy will call me back today at 10am as he wanted me to find the original product key. I haven't found the box, but after googling it, I found a way to get it through regedit...

I'm having the exact same issue right now. I performed a clean install on a new SSD and activation doesn't work. My Win11 installation comes from upgrading from Win10 installed from a physical copy I got from a licensed retailer (so it's not fake/pirated) 4 years ago when I assembled my...
