[Windows Central Question]

As above, but the phone number for support sends me around the world, and the operative I spoke to referred me back to online support forum. Hopeless maze. Please can someone direct me forward, without invoking broken links and decreasing circles.
Thanks
Mike

When you mean activation code, do you mean one generated by an authenticator app?

As that is what it sounds like to me.

If you have an authenticator app connected to your Microsoft account then you will need to use that or your alternative email or phone number to get the code.
