Why should you activate Windows 10?
Microsoft notified that Windows 10 is “the latest version of Windows” and they explained that they will focus on developing new and powerful features under the “disguise” of software updates rather than building a new version of the operating system.
This means that there will be no Windows 11 or 12 in the future, so it would be a good idea to activate your Windows 10 license to always keep it updated and enjoy it completely.
Activate Windows 10 with a product key
You can validate your Windows 10 with a product key, which is a 25-digit code to activate your license. Its format is as follows: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX. These can be obtained easily and for free on the internet.
Getting a valid Windows 10 key for our version of the operating system is our first step.
To check which version of Windows you have, you can do it by right-clicking on the Windows Start icon and selecting the System option. In Windows specifications, your version of Windows 10 should be displayed, but in this case, we will provide two keys for the Professional version:
Access to the Start Menu and type “Command” in the search text box, this will automatically show the search results among which you will find the desktop application “Command Prompt”. In this result, you must right click, followed by this, select the option Run as Administrator
With the product key chosen and the command prompt open, you must enter the following combination of commands:
slmgr /ipk XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX (here goes the product key)
slmgr /skms kms.digiboy.ir (if it does not work, you must replace it with kms.msguides.com)
slmgr /ato
When you have entered the three commands, you will see three different windows that will indicate the activation status of Windows, you just have to wait a few moments.
Once you have finished, you will close the window and your Windows 10 will be automatically activated. In case you want to check it, you can open the previous System window or use the Control Panel.
