windows 11 activation

Upgraded to Windows 11.  Then reset Windows 11 because of having some issues.  The reset solved the issues but now I have to activate the reset version because it lost the product key/digital license.  I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3000.

    A digital license is kept by Microsoft in their database.  Depending on how Windows 11 was upgraded, you may have to go through system activation troubleshooting to resolve license issue.

    The only thing you have to do is to enter the Microsoft account that you have used before, in the Settings of Windows 11. After you do - the Windows 11 will find automatically its activation token and mark itself as "Activated with a digital license". Here below I will post a screenshot where in the Settings you will have to enter your Microsoft account. I have 2 accounts, and both are entered, one I use just for gaming on Microsoft Xbox. If you still cannot activate the Windows 11 - please, write to me a direct message here and I will help you buy a new license for a very small amount of $.

    @VictorSky99​ 

    sorry for the delay

    Here is a screen shot of my system

    I am not sure but maybe I have messed up.  Thanks for the help!

    Maybe the simplest answer is a activation code.

    At the moment I cannot do a reinstall of Office.
