Windows 11 Pro no longer activated on custom PC
On March 24, I had Microcenter build me a PC and install and activate Windows 11 Pro on it. I was never given a Windows 11 CD/DVD at the store.
Just now, after installing the 24H2 update, Windows is no longer activated. I am subscribed to Priority Care+, if that is relevant. Is there a way for me to find what my product key was so I can reactivate?
Thank you.

To update: I found the DVD with the key and was able to reactivate. MS needs to get their act together. Updates shouldn't deactivate our Windows!
