The Windows 10 and 11 free trials (I mean upgrades) are no more

My guess is that their system was just poorly implemented and not fully thought out, and it's their customers that are now being screwed because of it.

Agreed.

The big surprise is that these upgraded keys become invalid if you for example reinstall or in some cases repair your PC. You'd assume that if someone says "we'll upgrade you for free from Windows 7 to WIndows 10", then that means your key should work like a Windows 10 key forever. Not that it will revert back to Windows 7 if you ever want to reinstall.

Yeah that I don't get either. But is in some way goes with what you said above about "poor implemented and fully thought out".

Update:

2 weeks after their support staff advised the auto-fix was being rolled out, the issue has finally been resolved. I am planning to upgrade SSDs later so hopefully that doesn't create another saga. Though it should be no different from what was done here. 

 

If anyone is still having problems, I recommend contacting their support using the "Get Help" application from your start menu.

My Windows 11 install just got deactivated.

 

 

The reason for the deactivation is "hardware change", even though I haven't changed my hardware.

 

 

Not really sure what to do now...

Hell, I don't even get the option to buy it again to reactivate, because the site on the store for activating (which they link to in the activation page) says "an error occurred. We could not activate your Windows"

 

 

Edit:

Thought I could fix it by signing in to my Microsoft account and reactivating it that way. Nope, I can't do that either...

 

Maybe it's some major issue with Microsoft's servers right now? Anyone else experiencing issues?
