Easiest way to remove the Windows watermark from your screen
After reading many instructions on the internet, I realize that the authors are using the same method, which is to edit registry to remove the Windows watermark on the bottom-right corner of the screen. You might not know, registry is like the heart of a Windows system. Honestly, intervention in registry is very risky and not recommend. There is a better way and not generally known, which is activate your Windows using a 180-day trial license. In this post today, we will move in this direction.
Step 1: Get the KMS client product key from Microsoft homepage.
I wrote a detailed instruction about this step before. It’s here.
Step 2: Open command prompt as admin.
Please follow instructions here to run it with admin rights.
Step 3: Install the product key you got above. Type the command then press Enter.
In this example, I am using Windows 10 Professional so the client key here is “W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX“.
Step 4: Set main KMS server.
kms8 is one of servers I have managed. You can also use other public servers on the Net if they are from a credible source.
Step 5: Activate your Windows using “ato” command.
Once your Windows is activated successfully, the watermark will be removed automatically.
Note: After following the steps above, if the watermark is not removed, it means your Windows is not activated successfully. In this case, you can create a ticket in the community or email me.
If you would have any questions or concerns, please leave your comments. I would be glad to explain in more details. Thank you so much for all your feedback and support!

After checking many websites finally my windows 10 got activated after reading your instructions. Thanks mate for the valuable info.
thank you for your blog on how to activate windows 10 pro. I’ve just activated three OS Ive been using at home.
Can this same technique be used in activating a windows 7 ultimate I’m using in my laptop? G*d bless.
KMS method not support windows 7 ultimate.
Im very poor person who get a old core 2 duo with windows 10 (without activation). I work hard everyday to get my medicine and pay my bills. When i return to home i can get a good time playing with my old friends, roleplaying D&D and other funs things.
The Watermark always was a pain, its really very hard to get rid that watermark, so one day, i read in internet about KMSPico and i tried. 5 days later, my web page was totally ruined with russians adds, i cant use google and i feel very bad, because i dont what happens, my solution: Format my Disk
That day i tried to not trust anyone about this, but recently i read your articles, and i feel you re a good person who wants to help people like who no have enought money to pay a 200$ license, so… i decide to trust you.
Yeah, i already read about how KMS works, and other question about it i your MSG Community forum, but you know, im not a expert in computers, im only a old man trying to get a nice time with my hobbies.
So thank you. If someday i can help you in anyway, i gonna do it.

Please extend the activation for win10 education edition as well.
Thank you!
