Ijust finished upgrading to windows 11 home from windows 10 home and decided I would like to purchase windows 11 pro. I used the link in settings to upgrade my version of windows. I bought the 99 dollar windows pro from within the Microsoft store. It showed the purchase was successful and a button appeared saying install now.
I restarted my computer to see if that would fix the issue. As I restarted, my computer said it was performing updates. When it finished performing updates, my computer turned back on it now how's that I have windows enterprise installed and it will not let me activate. The trouble shooter does not work and it displays the error code 0xc004c003.
My my Microsoft account shows my purchase of windows 11 pro but it doesn't give me an access to a product key. When I click on more details it takes me to a broken link within Microsoft website saying this page no longer exists.
if you upgrade from Windows 11 Home to Pro , please follow these steps :
1Select Start > Settings > System > Activation.
2Under Upgrade your edition of Windows, select Open Store
3Select "I have a Windows 10/11 Pro Product Key", then input the product key
4: If you have any error warning , please reboot your PC and try it again
and I get my windows 11 pro key from the microsoft partner online store
keyingo.com, and i upgrade with the key and follow the instructions without any problems
I am having the same problem and spent two hours on the phone with Microsoft. They said I had to upgrade my Windows 11 home, but it would wipe out
every other application on my computer that wasn't a Microsoft product. This is a new laptop with Windows 11 so I don't know why I would have to upgrade it
to use the key to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro. So frustrating.......when I try to enter that default key I get an error. Did you have any experience with this?
this seems to be a generic key for windows 10 not 11 , Currently having the same issue with a brand new windows 11 PC and upgrade to windows Pro
Microsoft message screen says select troubleshoot below. Which of course there is no Troubleshoot below !
In the end I had to get the vendor to log in and fix this problem, firstly by changing the version to Windows 11 Pro un-activated in Powershell/Terminal and then activate it with a fresh valid product key through System settings (several activation keys had been attempted through the System Settings previously to no avail)
So the best approach is to go to a Microsoft authorised vendor in the first instance)
I buy my license on the Microsoft site. They said that the product key is on the mail sent when I bought the license buy it doesn't. and in the order history doesn't appears the product key. I'm asking for every possible way to get my product key, my actual windows is a home ed, but I need some features of my pro version.
I want to upgrade but without my key is impossible. I already have my ms account associated to my login and is an administrator account. the only way to upgrade it is using the key or buy a new license (is totally illogic buy a new license to get my old license...) and nobody answer from Microsoft. the only thing the have is a troubleshoot step by step that goes in circle. Is sooooo hard to them give me my already bought key?
For some reason, Windows 11 stops recognizing my two external monitors as audio output devices when I leave my desktop idle. I also have headphones plugged in and they will become the only output audio option even if the audio was set to one of the monitors before.
My power options have my desktop set to never sleep but it will turn the display off after 15 minutes. Half of the time I start using my computer after the monitors turn off this issue happens. To fix this I have to start troubleshooting output devices and then windows will suddenly recognize them again and everything goes back to normal. It's been getting annoying to have to go into settings every time I want to hear audio after leaving my computer.
Same issue with Windows 11, although I was already on Windows 11 before I got rid of my speakers and went to the TV (monitor) speakers, so I don't know if it was (would have been) an issue in Windows 10. I also note that, while the TV is turned off with no activity, Windows 11 will not turn my TV back on when coming out of sleep. I have to use the power button on my remote. I think this is a problem with my TV (Samsung UN40JU6700).
I only see the problem maybe 1 out of 20 times coming out of sleep, however. But there is no rhyme or reason to when it happens - just appears to be random. To date I just end up resetting my computer (since it happens infrequently). I would very much like to see Microsoft fix this issue.
Have same problem Here with a Dell Latitude 7424 rugged extreme. If i dont use the laptop for a moment or i close the screen and pass on battery, many time i See the audio icon become with the Red cross like no audio driver and rechange to normal icon but audio is go away. Also somes drivers Make sound of the speaker so Low that you can est anything proprely. Never have ans problems on Win10. (Note also Firefox on win11 crash 1/2 time at launch If you have session restore)
I've tried all of the suggestions above including restarting audiosrv/AudioEndpointBuilder services, power cycling the TV, running Windows audio troubleshooter... nothing worked. No pending Windows updates, no driver updates available. I knew rebooting the PC always fixes the issue, but it's obnoxious as hell doing that every time Windows stops detecting an audio device, which seems to be constantly these days...
Well, turns out putting the PC to sleep and waking it back up seems to work just as well, no need to close down programs or save your work.
