Hello. I am not really clear on the details of what happened anymore because I have been trying to get help from Microsoft support for weeks now to no avail, but what I do know is that I have a watermark on my screen telling me to activate my Windows ever since I installed some updates (don't remember what they were). At first, I was getting the error code for my product key not being found, and now I am getting the error code 0x800704CF (not sure what that means). Also, my settings were telling me that I have Windows 11 Pro, but I am supposed to have Windows 11 Home. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
