Purchased W11 Pro upgrade from PC Pro software store that apparently is run by FastSpring. Software would not activate, MS said licence had been previously used multiple computers and would not activate. I sent several emails showing it MS would not activate as it had be used before. Dozens of unhelpful evasive emails from FastSpring, first saying you cant simply add a W11 pro update serial to W11 and expect it to work (er yes you can), I would need to do a fresh install (wrong). Then I was told I was probably off line or using a VPN (no I was not), then told to disconnect from internet and do the update, then connect to internet and it would active,, no it would not activate. Asked for a refund they got stroppy and said its my fault and no refund!

We're truly sorry about your frustrating experience with your Windows 11 Pro upgrade purchase. It's incredibly disappointing when software doesn't activate properly, and even more frustrating when support responses aren't helpful for your problem. Your experience with the activation issues and the various troubleshooting suggestions that didn't work sounds extremely frustrating. Being told incorrect information about Windows upgrades and then ultimately being denied a refund when the product didn't work as advertised is completely unacceptable. Thank you for sharing your experience and we have made note of this in our records for future customers. We appreciate your honest feedback.
