    The error code 0x8007007B typically indicates that the DNS name does not exist, which can occur if the KMS client can't find the KMS SRV resource records in DNS. Since you mentioned that this is a personal PC with a Digital License, it seems there might be a conflict with the activation method being used.

    To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

    1. Check your Internet connection: Ensure that your PC is connected to the Internet, as activation requires a connection to Microsoft's servers.
    2. Run the Command Prompt as Administrator:
      • Open the Start menu and search for Command Prompt.
      • Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
    3. Re-enter your Digital License: You can attempt to re-enter your product key by running the command:
         slmgr.vbs /ipk <Your-Product-Key>
      
      Replace <Your-Product-Key> with your actual product key.
    4. Use the Activation Troubleshooter: Go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation and select Troubleshoot. This can help resolve activation issues.
    5. Contact Microsoft Support: If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for further assistance.

    Following these steps should help you resolve the activation issue on your Windows 11 Pro system.
