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 2.3: 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!

Thank you!
i vert pleased to find this guide..
Tired of the nonsense of windows.. I have voided installing 22H2. SINCE it disables the registry h**k of shrinking the taskbar.. in windows 11..
i cant see spending big bucks on such a worthless OS that MICROSOFT wants to push WORTHLESS UPDATES. it works just fine without 22H2 update & i tend to keep it that way…
Thanks a lot for your help bro Its very helpfull
Thank you, excellent site and information/how to works like a charm. Great.
I was gifted a Dell Inspiron 3020s. It has a 512GB NVMe drive and 8GB ram. I have the option of installing either version of Win10 Home or Win11 Home.
I am not able to install using a USB image of Win11Pro. The computer boots and loads the Win10/Win11 USB bootable image and then the screen that should show the ‘drives’ – there is nothing seen there. The option to install/add drivers is available. Where can I find the drivers.
The hardware on this computer shows Windows Boot Manager shows “UEFI RST P0221 NVMe Phison 512GB etc’ and my BOOTABLE USB “UEFI Verbatim STORE N GO etc..” I say again, the USB boots and then does not go past the ‘hard drives’ screen.
I need to have Win10 Pro or preferable Win11 Pro to install. Please help. Thank you.
hi mr. Guang, buh when i do the first process it gives an error,”your computer is in safe mode.
for reply, [email protected] is my gmail
Thank you so much it works for me
When I connect to the server and run the last step it says it can’t go through but not because its busy, but because a KMS Server isn’t there?
Thank you so much. The activation is only for 6 months. How do I renew the activation, do I need to do the same steps all over again?
works for me thank you
Does not seem to be working for me.
read the how too and re try all so look on you tube on how too make a .bat file
