Windows Product Key Can't Validate Help
Posted by frenchy3643@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 3 comments
Hi everyone!
I have a windows 11 pro product key that I purchased sealed with the USB plug in. When I go to install, it tells me that it can't validate the product key. I can't tell if this is an internet issue or something else?
Additional info:
The key and USB both say windows 11 pro on them
The MoBo is an ASUS Z-690A Prime
I have an Orbi mesh system for a router and the ethernet light on the mobo is green but when I look for the computer in the wifi app as being a connected device, it's not there
What else should I be trying to troubleshoot? Is there a way to make sure the internet is working from the BIOS that I'm missing? Anything would be helpful at this point.

Have you called microsoft's activation support?

I haven't yet because it's late where I am but I can call tomorrow. I suspect at this point it's an internet connection issue due to the fact it won't even let me install if I select the "I Don't Have A Product Key" option either.

Maybe FS2024 launch brought down MS's entire server infrastructure.
