Sometimes you’re unable to activate a copy of the Windows operating system on your PC, as it shows an error message that reads:
“We can’t activate Windows on this device as we can’t connect to your organization’s activation service” with error code 0xc004f074.
Below in this blog post, I’m going to share a quick solution using which you can fix this Windows activation issue on Windows 11 and Windows 10 PCs.
