Easy ways to activate Windows 11 for FREE without a product key
About Windows 11
Jerry Nixon, a senior software development engineer at Microsoft, stated that version 10 is the last one of Windows at the Ignite conference 2015. What he said convinced many that doing an upgrade is a wise decision at that time. Six years passed by, it is already 2021, Microsoft is going to issue the stable release of Windows 11 after publishing the insider preview build. What’s going on? Is it a business trick? I don’t know for sure but I think a complimentary upgrade offer for a newer version of Windows is quite attractive. However note that hardware specification for the new Windows is much higher than the old one. So the first thing you need to do is checking if your machine can handle it or not. Just go here to check out the minimum system requirements.
Experience on Windows 11
I have used Windows 11 on my desktop for two weeks. It seems they created a completely new user interface that is almost similar to Mac OS for version 10 then named it 11. We have centered taskbar items, new system icons and the start menu is also centered on the screen. The list of menu options that appeared in the context menu has changed compared to the previous version. The interface of Windows apps has been refreshed and the new layout makes it attractive. The new feature which has garnered the most media attention perhaps is the ability to run android apps on Windows. It means you can play your favorite mobile games on your PC without an additional emulator. But the pity is that I don’t see this feature in the current build so I haven’t had a chance to try it.
Should you upgrade your Windows to version 11
In general, Windows 11 includes many changes in the user interface. Its new features are cool but not ready, thus, they are not attractive enough to most Windows 10 users, especially those who need a stable system. I think you should wait for the major release before deciding whether to use it. However, if you just want to try the new Windows, just go for it, using a virtual machine is recommended in this case. You can get the iso file of Windows 11 here.
Activate Windows 11 using free KMS client key
The steps are completely similar to what I showed you in step-by-step instructions on how to activate Windows 10 for free, except that I do it on Windows 11 this time.
Method 1: Manual activation
Step 1.1: Run Command Prompt app as administrator.
Click on the start button, search for “cmd” then run it with admin rights.
Step 1.2: Install KMS client key.
Use the command “slmgr /ipk kmsclientkey” to install a license key (kmsclientkey is the activation key that corresponds to your Windows edition).
The following is the list of Windows 11 Volume license keys.
Home: TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99
Home N: 3KHY7-WNT83-DGQKR-F7HPR-844BM
Home Single Language: 7HNRX-D7KGG-3K4RQ-4WPJ4-YTDFH
Home Country Specific: PVMJN-6DFY6-9CCP6-7BKTT-D3WVR
Pro: W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX
Pro N: MH37W-N47XK-V7XM9-C7227-GCQG9
Education: NW6C2-QMPVW-D7KKK-3GKT6-VCFB2
Education N: 2WH4N-8QGBV-H22JP-CT43Q-MDWWJ
Enterprise: NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
Enterprise N: DPH2V-TTNVB-4X9Q3-TJR4H-KHJW4
Step 1.3: Set KMS server.
Use the command “slmgr /skms kms8.msguides.com” to connect to my KMS server.
Step 1.4: Activate your Windows.
The last step is to activate your Windows using the command “slmgr /ato”.
If you see the error 0x80070005, it means the server is busy. Please try the command “ato” again until you succeed.
Method 2: Using a batch file
This one is not recommended anymore due to the new update of Microsoft.
Step 2.1: Copy the code below into a new text document.

Step 2.2: Paste the code into the text file. Then save it as a batch file with cmd extension and a name you want. Here I named it “1click.cmd”.
Step 2.3: Right click on the batch file then run it as administrator.
Please wait a minute. You will see the line “Product activated successfully”. It means the activation process is completed.
*Note*: If you see three times the same error message saying that the connection to the KMS server was unsuccessful, please read this post.
Finally check the activation status again.
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!

you are amazing!

You have the ring…
I’ve tried to register W11 unsuccesfully. te ‘/ato’ command reuturns an error code ‘0xCC004F074’ No key management service (KMS) could be contacted.
I’ve used KMS8.msguides.com as well as 193.29.63.133 with the same result code both of them. Is there a new KMS address?
Same here. Tried all options from chat, no success…
Anyone found a solution?
I’ve already activate W11 as well as MSO 2019 with KMSPico. Very easy. If you decides to use this option, be careful, out there are plenty fake sites claiming to be KMSPico with some security threats.
The following KMS server which I found in the Office 365 activation page worked perfectly for Windows 11 activation as well. Tried today (Saturday, 13-Nov-2021)
s8.uk.to
Saturday 13, 15:47 hrs (GMT -6) /ato command returns error code 0x004F074 “The software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted.”
I am getting an error message 0XC004F050 The software Licensing service reported that the product key is invalid.
Worked perfectly, thanks so much for this.
Activated successfully, the problem I cant access Store. the server stumbled We all have bad days. Any help
it does not work please fix it i says sever is busy and can not request it
Guys, use IP instead of domain:
slmgr /ipk W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX
slmgr /skms 193.29.63.133
slmgr /ato
I tried to active Windows 11 Pro yesterday and today and it keeps says there is not kms server at the address…? kms.msguides.com, my port 1688 is closed, I think it would be a good idea to put a **Important** at the top of the post about the Port been closed on Windows 11, not everyone will look at the whole guide and just quickie glancing it., I only just noticed it the bit about the port at the bottom, and I have looked at this guide a few times, properly cause I like to go thought things quick and I am Dyslexic so when I look at things I do not always see everything.
I used this to Activate Windows 10 and it works straight away,
Use ip instead of domain:
slmgr /skms 193.29.63.133
Works perfectly, also getting updates
I was getting 0x803F7001 error when trying to run “slmgr /ato” but as a workaround I pasted the product key into the Windows Activation window and voila, activation successful!
product key activated but still stay in window 10. help pls
This is not working. I get:

Any Ideas??
Use ip instead of domain:
slmgr /skms 193.29.63.133
No different, still get
[0x7FF98C063490] ANOMALY: meaningless REX prefix used
[0x7FF98C063490] ANOMALY: meaningless REX prefix used
But thanks for the advice.
