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.

Windows по-прежнему является самой используемой операционной системой в мире. 11-я версия плохо прижилась из-за обилия недоработок и экспериментов со стороны Microsoft, в связи с чем пользователи продолжают сидеть на «десятке». Всего существуют несколько версий этой ОС:
Home (Домашняя) — для дома;
Pro (Профессиональная) – ориентирована на малый бизнес;
Enterprise (Корпоративная) — ориентирована на средний и крупный бизнес;
Education (для образовательных учреждений) — по сути, копия та Enterprise, но с прицелом на использование в учебных заведениях и образовательных целях.

Windows 10 устроена таким образом, что даже не активировав систему, вы получите полноценную рабочую среду с незначительными ограничениями. К ним относят:
• Недоступные параметры персонализации. Вы не сможете изменить обои, цвета оформления и т.д.;
• Водяной знак в правом нижнем углу экрана с напоминанием об отсутствии активации.

На этом всё. Если же вам принципиально нужно иметь лицензию, мы рассмотрим, как купить Windows 10 в 2023 году и какие есть альтернативные способы активации.

Активация Windows с помощью лицензионного ключа

Ситуация такова, что в крупных торговых сетях по типу DNS или М.Видео, официальных версий в коробке больше нет. Магазин Майкрософт также заблокирован на территории РФ. Остается Ozon. На нем есть множество предложений от официальных партнеров Microsoft, предлагающих купить лицензию. Стоимость ключа Windows 10 стартует от 5000 рублей. Довольно выгодно, учитывая, что DNS предлагал лицензии от 15000 рублей, а М.Видео от 3000.

Купив систему, необходимо:

• Зайти в «Параметры ПК;

• Перейти в «Обновление и безопасность»;

• По пути «Активация – Изменить ключ продукта»;

• Активируем и радуемся.

Приобретение ключа активации через посредников

Рассмотрим альтернативные способы покупки ключа Windows 10. Они заключаются в его приобретении через посредников на популярных площадках. Разберу несколько из них.

• Покупка ключа на GGSel

GGSel — популярная платформа для покупки игр и программ.
Заходим на стартовую страницу и переходим на вкладку Microsoft.

Видим множество предложений, ищем то, что понравилось больше всего по ценовой политике и в плане доверия к продавцу. Не забываем изучать рейтинги, отзывы, а заодно и графу с дополнительной информацией.

Жмем «купить» и дальше следуем по инструкции.

Дальше нужно выбрать способ оплаты, подтвердить свою почту;

Ввести свои данные и оплатить покупку.

Дальше вас переадресует на страничку оплаченного товара. Там вы получите уникальный код для активации в виде 25-значного набора цифр.

• Приобретение ключа на СберМегамаркет

СберМегамаркет — растет не по дням, а по часам. И если в плане козырей GGSel использует низкие цены, то СберМегамаркет заманивает бонусами в виде кэшбека и баллов при подключении к СберСпасибо.

Выбираем нужный товар, жмем «Оформить заказ».

Можно оформить как доставку курьером, так и самовывоз. Примечательно, что пунктом выдачи может быть как отделение Почты России, так и СДЭКа или даже постамат 5POST.

Осталось оплатить покупку и ожидать доставку.

• Приобретение на SoftMonster

Последним в списке интернет-магазинов я решил отметить СофтМонстр. Ресурс специализируется именно на операционных системах, офисных пакетах, антивирусах и прочих прикладных программах.

Ассортимент не такой большой, чем у предыдущих маркетов, но лучше, чем ничего.

Оплата тут, пожалуй, самая простая в плане последовательности, никуда переходить не надо. Просто вбиваете свои данные, выбираете способ оплаты и ждёте ключ на почту. Всё.

Активация неофициальными способами (не рекомендую)

А вот я и добрался до всеми любимых способов активации. Не буду рассказывать про KMS Auto, про него и так все знают. В этот раз сфокусируюсь на альтернативных утилитах.

• Активация через AAct Portable

Одна из самых популярных альтернатив KMS Auto. Проблема в том, что при загрузке дистрибутива многие из них тащат за собой пачку дополнительного софта вместе с Яндексом, Танками и антивирусами. Будьте внимательны при установке.

Набор функций и оформление приблизительно такое же, как и у КМС. Есть окошки для активации как Windows, так и Office. Особых хитростей тут нет, просто жмем на то окно, чей софт нам нужно активировать.

Все продукты активируются двумя способами: генерация универсального GVLK-ключа или своего уникального. Так как активация рассчитана на 180 дней, рекомендуется создать постоянную задачу для повторного выполнения задачи.

• Активация через Re-Loader

Достаточно компактная утилита в плане своего исполнения. Активирует как Windows, так и Office.

Помимо базовых возможностей предлагает ряд дополнительных опций. Например, изменять информацию о системе и осуществлять тонкую настройку основных параметров активации.
