A guide how to activate Windows 10 and 11 Pro for free!

NOTE

If you see the Windows keyboard button ; and you can’t find it, you likely have/had Windows 10 which has the button . If you can’t find that one, you likely have a PC that has been upgraded to Windows 10/11 from Windows 8.1/8/7/XP and other ones. If you have one of those, refer the Windows key button to as yours. A list of them is below:

Windows key buttons

— Windows 11

— Windows 10

— Windows 8.1 and 8

— Windows 7

— Windows XP

— Windows 95/98

This doesn’t say that your PC currently runs an older version of Windows. It is just the logo from the Windows version it came with. Your PC can always be upgraded to a newer version of Windows if it runs 64-bit and has a good CPU and GPU.

• BitLocker — Used to better secure your storage drive in case it is stolen or for any other reason.
• Remote Desktop — Used to access your PC from anywhere by enabling a connection to your device.
• Domain or Azure Active Directory — Used to make it possible to place the PC in a domain or use Azure Active Directory.

CREATE A RESTORE POINT!!!

Create a restore point to make sure you can roll back if something doesn’t work, or anything goes wrong. You can find a tool to easily do this below.

Restore Point Tool

The Restore Point Tool is a good tool using Batch to create a Windows restore point automatically so that you can rollback to your previous Windows edition. If needed, you can later on restore to this point to make everything working again.

Tool Usage

1. Download the tool from here.
2. Run the file as administrator.
3. Wait some time. You will see some text that it is working on some things.
4. When it is done, it will prompt ‘Create restore point done!’.
5. It will exit, and your restore point is created!

Restore Procedure

1. Open Settings (Not Control Panel).
2. Go to ‘Info’ or ‘Information’.
3. Go down until you see ‘Advanced System Settings’ at ‘Device Specifications’.
4. Click on it.
5. Go to ‘System Security’ section.
6. Click on ‘System Restore’.
7. Click on the box at ‘Select a different restore point’.
8. Select the first restore point in the list.
9. Click on ‘Next’.
10. Click on ‘Complete’.
11. Wait until the process is done.

BACKUP YOUR CURRENT KEY!!!

Backup the activation key you are currently using. This is to make sure that if the process doesn’t work, you can reinstall Windows/change the edition and enter your current key, so that you can access everything again.
This only applies when:

• You have buyed a key online.
• It isn’t connected to your Microsoft Account and is no digital license.
  If you have a Microsoft account with a digital license, you don’t need to worry.

Use third method for PERMANENT activation!

Third is for users with PERMANENT activation. This requires you to have a Microsoft account to be connected with Windows. Find it by clicking here. The first and second methods are NOT PERMANENT.

FAQ

Q: Am I also able to switch from any other edition to Pro?

Q: Will I lose my activation key?
A: No, you shouldn’t lose your key. It doesn’t care which type you have (Key, HWID, Digital license, etc.). Built-in keys should be reactivated when reinstalling Windows, although this isn’t always the case. A seperate key can just be copied and stored somewhere, which you could enter again later on (rollback first needed for this). Digital licenses are connected to your Microsoft account, so if you login it should restore automatically.

Q: Which upgradeable version are currently working?
A: If you’re on Home edition, it is likely that it can be upgraded to Pro. Most other editions are also supported as well. There are a few which might not work.

How Long Will You be Able to Use Windows without Activating it?

Have you ever wondered how long Windows 10 can be used without a product key or activation? The easy answer is that you can use it indefinitely, but some of the functionality would be disabled in the long run. Gone are the days when Microsoft required customers to purchase a license and rebooted their computers every two hours if the grace period for activation expired.

Unlike previous versions of Windows, Windows 10 does not require you to enter a product key during the installation process. You’ll see a button that says “Skip for now.” After installation, you should be able to use Windows 10 without restrictions for the next 30 days.

Here’s a rundown of the restrictions you’ll face in this situation:

• The Activate Windows watermark will stay in the lower right-hand corner.
• You can get alerts from Windows telling you to activate it. I’m not sure how often it will occur, but it will be noticeable every day.
• In Settings, you’ll see a message that says, “Windows isn’t activated, activate Windows now.”
• You won’t be able to customize the wallpaper, accent colors, themes, lock screen, or other aspects of the phone. Personalization-related options will be greyed out or unavailable.
• Any applications and functionality will become unusable.
• While you can still get Updates, for the time being, Microsoft is expected to change its strategy in the future.

How to Activate Windows 10 Pro?

Now, with this activation method, you can activate all Windows 10 versions. so let’s start the procedures.

Step 1.  Copy the below-given Windows 10 text activation code.
