  • 1.  Unable to activate Windows 11

    I just installed Fusion 13.5 on a Mac with M2 chip and downloaded Windows 11 (via Fusion). Now I cannot activate Windows 11. I tried via Windows Settings and also on Microsoft's website. No luck. Any suggestions?

    Did you buy a license?  You don't get one with Fusion - just the install bits.

    I eventually did. The problem was that the Microsoft Store app was not installed, so after I added it, I was able to get the license. Thank you.

      I wonder if Microsoft might be having a bit of a packaging issue with Windows 11 ARM? What was the Windows 11 ARM build that Fusion downloaded for you (the ISO file name would give us a clue) and what Windows language did you use?
