HI DBZLover I have not encountered this problem myself but if i had it i would try to reset it (after backing up any data) or seeing if there is any upgrades, looking at the screenshot there seems to be a problem with your copy of windows because it says "buy a genuine copy" it is probably for the best if you would try to get in contact with microsoft support

Cheers Win11Userr

It appears that the license key you are trying to enter is not valid; "go to the store to buy genuine Windows." If you purchased the upgrade key from a reputable source, contact them. If you purchased a discount key it may fail for various reasons; visit link below for some of the reasons.

One thing that has changed from the Product Key of earlier versions of Windows is the downloads, .iso or USB, are both Home and Pro, the license determines which edition is activated. Using the MCT there is no choice of Home or Pro, just one download and the license/key determines which gets activated. Downloading latest available now, I keep the latest on hand as it can save me time later on when working with clients.

I haven't purchased any keys for Win10 or Win11, was able to upgrade computers from Win7 and Win8/8.1 to Win10 when still possible. I even have 2 Notebooks I upgraded from 10 to 11 using the single-file change and they are activated. I did buy a new Win11 Notebook and later a new Win11 Desktop 2 years ago as what I had didn't meet the specs., both came with Win10 Pro and immediately got upgraded to Win11 after finishing setup. As for Win10, last month I upgrade a Win8.1 Notebook I was given to Win10, no issue yet.
