I purchased a copy of Windows 11 Pro and never got the email with the activation code. How can I get the activation code for a copy of windows 11 pro that I purchased that is in my windows account? What do I have to do to get a refund if Microsoft will not email me the activation code? How the heck am I supposed to activate windows if they won't send me the number?

    Did you change your hardware?

    Did you try "hardware was changed" option?

    Please show Activation page of Windows.

    Purchase thru Store is tied to hardware used for purchasing, this is why you did not get a product key. The Store sends an information about your purchase directly to the activation servers so there is no need to use a key.
