Win 11 Activation issue with fresh install on new ssd
Installed Win 11 on a new ssd, no other hardware changes, and now Win 11 wont activate with the license attached to my Microsoft account. When I put the old ssd in the windows 11 on it is activated and works fine.
Info from my old ssd.
Fresh install on new ssd
A friend told me to delete the old version from ACCOUNTS - LINKED DEVICES but when I tried it did this.
It has done that consistantly for days now, I've even reinstalled again trying to get it to work but nothing is helping.
Any help would be appreciated.

You have to deactivate the license key on old ssd first.
This is correct! One license key can be only used one active device.
