Activating windows...again

Hi,

So basically I bought a product key for windows 11 pro, it worked fine with the VM and activation went perfect, however, I had to completely delete and reinstall the VM & parallels due to some issues making a complete wipe the simplest option.

My issue now is when I input the same product key for windows and attempt to activate it doesn't accept the code.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Activate Windows 10 on a new PC - 2 Steps
Step 1. During Windows 10 installation, choose I don't have a product key when a move to activate.

Step 2. Sign in with your Microsoft account and connect to the Internet. Your Windows 10 will be activated.

Reactivate Windows 10 after changing hardware
When it comes to change your hardware, such as the mainboard, the activation process shows a bit of difference. Check the steps below to complete re-activation.

Step 1. Prepare before activation.

Make sure the digital license is linked to Microsoft Account. If the Activation displays as Windows is activated with a digital license, you can apply the below steps to link your account:

Click Settings > Update & Security > Activation > Click Add an account under Add a Microsoft account > Sign in to your Microsoft account

activation add account

Step 2. Apply Troubleshoot

Settings > Update & Security > Activation
Choose Troubleshoot under the Windows part.
Click I changed hardware on this device recently.
Select device to activate > Check This is the device I'm using right now > Click Activate button.
