Six months after reinstalling the operating system, I received a prompt to activate Windows 11.
When I sent my computer in for repairs, the shop reinstalled the operating system. Recently, I’ve been prompted to activate Windows. The Home and Student edition that came pre-installed on the computer was genuine. Can I switch back to the original version and have it activated automatically? Or do I have to purchase and activate it again?
