    Hello,

    Did you purchase the full Pro license or the upgrade Pro license?

    If you are not sure, please tell me the price you paid.

    Determining this is important to decide what steps you can take. Thanks!

    If you purchased a digital license for Windows 11 Pro from the Microsoft Store, your product key is typically linked to your Microsoft account. Here are the steps you can take to recover your product key:

    1. Sign in to your Microsoft Account: Go to the Microsoft account page and sign in with the account you used to purchase Windows 11.
    2. Check Your Order History: Navigate to the "Order history" section to find your purchase of Windows 11. The product key may be listed there.
    3. Use the Activation Troubleshooter: If Windows 11 is already installed but not activated, you can use the Activation Troubleshooter. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation, and select "Troubleshoot". This may help you activate Windows using your digital license.
    4. Contact Microsoft Support: If you cannot find the product key through your account, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for assistance. They may be able to provide you with your product key based on your purchase.

    Since digital licenses do not always provide a visible product key, the above methods are your best options to recover your activation status.
