Situatie
Do you have a black wallpaper and an information on the bottom right of your screen telling you your Windows version isn’t genuine? Maybe you get a prompt every once in a while telling you that you might be a victim of software counterfeiting.
That only happens because your Windows version isn’t activated. In this tutorial we’re going to learn how to activate Windows with and without a product key. This applies to both Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10.

Activating your Windows copy with a product key is pretty straightforward and requires you to have a legitimate copy of Windows.
If your Windows copy isn’t genuine (or if you’ve lost your product key) you will need to use a Windows Activator. Luckily, it’s a simple process and you get to activate Windows for free.
HOW TO ACTIVATE WINDOWS WITH A PRODUCT KEY
Activating Windows with a product key is very easy. To do so you obviously need to have a Windows product key — this means you need to have bought Windows legitimately, or a computer that came with a legitimate Windows version installed.
Windows product keys are typically 25-characters long and are usually located on the back or at the top of your computer case, or at the bottom of your laptop if Windows came preinstalled.
If you bought a Windows disc, then the Product key will be located inside the case. If you bought it online, then you will have received the product key in a confirmation email.
HOW TO ACTIVATE WINDOWS WITHOUT A PRODUCT KEY
Activating Windows without a product key usually requires you to use a Windows Activator. Using a Windows Activator without owning a legitimate copy of Windows isn’t legal, since it’s basically stealing Windows.
On the plus side, activating Windows without a digital license or product key is free.
There are also ways to activate Windows without using an activator, although Windows activators are arguably easier to use.
Here are two ways of activating Windows without using a product key. One method requires a Windows Activator while the other doesn’t. Choose your preferred method – they both have the same end result.
METHOD 1: ACTIVATE WINDOWS 10 USING A BATCH FILE
This is one of the fastest ways to activate Windows 10 for free. It just requires you to create a batch file, run it as an admin and reboot your computer. Here’s how you do it:
- Open Notepad
- Paste the following code:@echo offtitle Windows 10 ALL version activator&cls&echo ************************************&echo Supported products:&echo – Windows 10 Home&echo – Windows 10 Professional&echo – Windows 10 Enterprise, Enterprise LTSB&echo – Windows 10 Education&echo.&echo.&echo ************************************ &echo Windows 10 activation…
- Save the file as a .bat file
2. Run the saved .bat file as an admin
- Wait for the command prompt to do its thing
- Press Y and then enter when prompted to reboot your computer
METHOD 2: ACTIVATE WINDOWS USING A WINDOWS ACTIVATOR
KMSPico Activator is one of the most known Windows Activators. You should only download it from websites you trust – some sites mask viruses as Windows activators and your computer will get infected.
Here’s a complete guide how you activate Windows 10 using the Windows activator KMSPico:
- Download KMSPico from their website or another website you trust
- Install it using the provided installer
- Go to the installation directory and run exe
- Click on the red switch button
- Wait for it to complete the activation process
After the activation process is complete, your Windows 7 or Windows 10 copy should be successfully activated.
Other Windows activators work in similar ways, however KMSPico is one of the most used activators, which means you’ll easily find it online.
After following any of these steps your Windows copy will be successfully activated and you’ll no longer see the “not genuine” prompts.
