The lady behind the phone asked me which windows license or type I had, and I responded, a bit unsure of what it was called exactly, "I think I have windows Home, or windows Core.." and she just sassily replied, "Windows Core?" and I paused for a second, a bit confused and then she just hung up. what the hell?!?

I just need help reactivating my license, I just switched my motherboard, cpu, and ram. It was working fine until I got the notification that they reported my hardware has changed, and I didn't have an activated license. I'm on Windows 26200.8655, I should have a license for Windows 11 Home, and I don't know what to do.

I thought I should mention, when I try to troubleshoot in settings to reactivate my key, It says, "Unable to activate Windows- We can’t find any devices linked to your Microsoft account that can be used for reactivating the device you’re using right now." No matter what account I use with the troubleshooter. None of my accounts work... Any help is appreciated!

Edition: Windows 11 Home

Version: 25H2

Installed on: 12/‎7/‎2025

OS Build: 26200.8655

Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.315.0

I had both error codes 0xC004F213, and another one at one point, I think it was when I tried to re-activate my windows in command prompt.

I feel like I've literally tried everything to reset my mod subscriptions and free up space. I unsubscribed from my mods in DZSA, as well as double-checked that they're unsubscribed in steam. I checked both !Workshop and !dzal, 221100 in steamapps\workshop\content, steamapps\workshop\downloads, and steamapps\workshop\temp. There's no folders. I've even gone around to any places where there might be an acf file to make sure everything is really gone. I clear my recycle bin, verify the integrity of my game files, and it seems to all be gone. But when I open up DZSA or restart my computer, all the files with empty addons and keys folders pop back up in my workshop content and downloads! it's causing issues redownloading mods in DZSA and in Dayz launcher, idk what to do anymore.

Has this happened to anyone else before and if so, do you know any way to fix it? any help appreciated. :)
