Algunos usuarios que actualizaron sus PC a Windows 11 informaron que sus dispositivos ya no están activados y muestran un mensaje que indica que necesitan comprar una copia original de Windows. Microsoft ha reconocido el problema y está trabajando para solucionarlo.
According to a Microsoft support page, the activation issue affects users who upgraded from Windows 10 Home or Pro to Windows 11 using the Media Creation Tool or the Upgrade Assistant. The issue does not affect users who upgraded via Windows Update or the Windows Insider program.
Microsoft says the problem is due to a server-side issue that prevents activation servers from recognizing the digital license for updated devices. The company is investigating the root cause and expects to resolve the problem soon.
In the meantime, Microsoft advises users affected by the problem to wait 24 hours and then try activating Windows 11 again by going to Settings> Update & Security> Activation and selecting Troubleshoot. If the problem persists, users can contact Microsoft support for assistance.
Microsoft also assures users that the activation issue does not affect Windows 11 functionality and that they can continue to use their devices as normal. However, some users may see a watermark in the lower right corner of their screen that says “Activate Windows” and may not be able to access some personalization features.
We will update this blog post when Microsoft provides more information or a fix for the activation issue. If you have experienced this issue, please let us know in the comments below.
As reported by The Verge, Microsoft is facing a problem that affects the activation of Windows 10 and Windows 11 on some computers. The problem occurs on computers that have been upgraded from Windows 7 or Windows 8 to the latest versions of Windows for free. However, if these computers have undergone changes to their hardware components (such as the motherboard), they may lose their Windows 10 or Windows 11 license and become disabled.
In addition, some users have experienced this problem even without changing any hardware components, but simply updating their motherboard BIOS. This also appears to trigger Windows 10 or 11 disabling on computers that have been upgraded from earlier versions of Windows.
If you are one of the unfortunate users who have been blocked from accessing your Windows 10 or Windows 11 device, you are not alone. Microsoft support has confirmed that this is a widespread problem affecting those who upgraded from Windows 7 or Windows 8 using a valid license key. This is not the result of any illegal activity on your part, but rather a consequence of Microsoft’s September 2023 policy change that discontinued the free upgrade option for previous versions of Windows.
You can still upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 without paying, but not from Windows 7 or Windows 8. This is a frustrating situation for many loyal customers who have been using Microsoft products for years. In this blog post, we’ll explain what happened, what you can do to fix it, and how to avoid it in the future.
