Help with Windows Activation and NVMe Disk Update Issues
Asked by
CuriousCactus33
I'm having trouble activating Windows, and I also ran into a problem when trying to update to Windows 11, version 24H2. A pop-up notified me that my Western Digital NVMe disk isn't ready for Windows 11, and I can't do anything except close the pop-up. I also see an 'Activate Windows' message in my settings, which is weird because I already had Windows installed. This issue popped up randomly last week. Is there a better place to post for help where I can include pictures?

You might need to update the firmware on your NVMe drive before you can upgrade to Windows 11. For the activation part, go to Settings > System > Activation to activate Windows. If you have your product key, this is the right place to enter it. Typically, if your PC came with Windows, you should be able to activate it right there. As for sharing pictures, you can upload them to Imgur and link them if needed, but honestly, the message you mentioned gives us a good idea of what's going on.

Just a heads-up, whoever handles your system BIOS could potentially mess things up, like losing data. Always back up your data before making any changes! If you're looking for more detailed help, be sure to check the FAQ thread for troubleshooting tips. It's super helpful!
