So, I recently upgraded my NVMe drive where my OS was installed, and during the process, I cleared all partitions before installing the OS on the new drive. Now, I'm running into a problem because I can't activate Windows, even though I'm logged into my Microsoft account. I've tried everything I could think of and watched countless YouTube videos for solutions. I've even found my product key in the registry and entered it manually, but nothing seems to work. I'm feeling pretty stuck here! Any ideas on what I can do?

Have you checked which version of Windows you installed? Sometimes, if you've installed a different version than what you had before—like switching from Windows 11 Home to Pro—it can cause activation issues. Just something to double-check!
I installed Windows 11 Home, so I think I'm good there. I used Rufus for the installation.
