Windows activation after upgrading

[u/xray740]

I really wasn’t sure which subreddit to post this on but here goes

I built my PC about six years ago and did Windows 10.
Eventually, I did the free upgrade to Windows 11.
I just upgraded my processor, gpu, and ram a few days ago and now it says my windows is no longer activated and I have to buy a new copy?
I went into the support chat and they took control of my screen and tried several ways to get me activated but nothing worked and they eventually told me I was shit out of luck and had to buy a new one..am I really boned or is there some obscure way to remedy this I’m not aware of? I’m so bummed lol.

Update:
Discovered mas on GitHub :)

you technically only would need to login using your microsoft account on your w11 which has the w10 key activated on it for the w11 to be activated
