You can no longer activate new Windows 11 builds with Windows 7 or 8 keys::Bad news for those planning to activate Windows 11 with a Windows 7 or 8/8.1 key: users noticed that the latest Windows 11 preview builds no longer allow activation with old license keys.

Definitely don't paste this into cmd if your windows is still inactivated: irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex
Actually it's also affected for HWID activation. From the link you posted:
Microsoft servers are currently rejecting HWID activation requests when activating through MAS, we’re checking what’s going on now. Use the KMS38 activation option for now.
Thanks, good to know
If I could upvote you more than once, I would! Thank you for the info!!
