Solved Windows 11 not activated anymore!!!?!?!


Have you tried entering the default Home key?
If you mean clicking on change key and putting the one that was working yea I tried that and it didn’t work
Bastet means the generic Home key YTMG3-N6DKC-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7 which cannot activate on its own but will activate if the PC has an existing digital license for Home.

So if I type that generic code it should fix it? I gave an OEM key. But I don’t wanna lose that key forever if this doesn’t work

It is IMPOSSIBLE to lose the key. The signature identifying Windows Home, Pro, etc. license is embedded in the UEFI firmware of an OEM system such as yours.

Ok i trust you but I’ll still write it down cause it can’t hurt. Will this reset any data either? I look up about the codes and they say they can install windows?

You have an OEM key for Home. As Home has been activated previously on this PC, then it has an existing digital licence for Home. The generic Home key should activate from that.

If it doesn't, and attempted activation still reports you have a non-core edition, then you need to check the registry to see why it thinks that has changed. Did you look at the tutorial I gave a link for?

Yes I look at it. Should I do that before my call with asus? Im supposedly getting a callback from them today. But idk if it will happen, and I’m wondering if would mess up anything fix idea they had for it. But I’m in windows 11 but have a windows 10 oem key so which generic code should I type in?

If you haven't done so already, you should do a repair install of Windows 11. That should reset system files and permissions. Nothing will be lost. Nothing will need to be reinstalled. Follow the instructions here:

If you have a call with Asus, then look at the registry but don't change anything yet. Do all your registry settings match those listed in the tutorial's 'contents of REG file for reference' ?

It would do no harm to try changing the installed key to the generic key, the one you should use is the generic key for Home.

Windows 10 keys and digital licences are the same as those for Windows 11, they are all valid for Windows 10/11. Microsoft made no changes to licencing with the release of W11.

Oh ok sorry I didn’t see that. I won’t do it right now but if and when I do should I try putting in a generic windows code before hand or after and also will I have to put in my original key to the windows thing or will it auto do it for me?

No codes or activation are required to run the repair install. It's as simple as download the ISO, open it and double-click Setup.exe.

No. It just repairs Windows.
And sorry for asking so many questions there are 3 differ t windows things. There is the installation assistant, create windows install media and disk image for x64 devices. I just don’t wanna accidentally do the wrong one and wipe my data (apparently I lose my wallpaper and other personal customization setting from this though. Like I have a certain color palette that I made in the asus app and I think it takes that away

You download the Media Creation Tool, run the MCT and ask it to make an ISO. You could also directly download the ISO. Either will do, it's an ISO that you want to end up with.

You mount this ISO as a virtual DVD by double-clicking on it and run the Setup.exe you'll see there to start the in-place upgrade. You should keep almost all your customisations, and certainly your wallpaper.

You download the Media Creation Tool, run the MCT and ask it to make an ISO. You could also directly download the ISO. Either will do, it's an ISO that you want to end up with.

You mount this ISO as a virtual DVD by double-clicking on it and run the Setup.exe you'll see there to start the in-place upgrade. You should keep almost all your customisations, and certainly your wallpaper.
I hope I didn’t break it. I got scared when I clicked the iso option it started saying it was installing windows before it gave me the choice of keeping setting and what not so I clicked exit. I hope I didn’t currupt anythit
