How to Manage Your Windows 11 License and Activation

By Timothy Tibbetts

Windows 11 has made checking your Windows 11 activation and license easier, including upgrading or changing your product key.

Click on Start > Settings or press the Windows Key + I.

Click on System on the left.

Click on Activation on the right.

There are currently two sections; Activation state and Upgrade your edition of Windows.

Activation state lets you know that your license is active and explains what type of license you have.

Upgrade your edition of Windows allows you to change your product key or upgrade Windows in the Microsoft Store.
