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.

pause >nulRight-click on the Desktop screen then create 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!

Hi friend can you help, how can i activate windows 10 / 11 enterprise ltsc?
Thank you so much for this! The Student key worked for me. After updating from Windows 10, I kept getting an error when I tried to activate until I tried Method 1 here. Thank you!
Bro, this guide actually helped so much thank you! I thought that I would have to actually pay like 100 dollars for a product key and for anyone wondering, the command prompt method worked for me and my windows key was declined so if your activation key randomly got declined, you should use that method.
You’ve helped me with that crazy microsoft popup that comes up every 5 seconds saying “Your license is almost expiring on my Virtual Machine…” I didn’t think it would work, coz all websites out here are giving me trojans. Atleast I can read through your script and see what it does, giving me trust.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was having troubles with it for a while now, first method worked perfectly
Thank youuuuu
gracias si funciono
Thank you! Your initial method (not batch file) worked perfectly.
thank you just got my window activated
I don’t know about everybody else, but that worked for me.
which version of windows are you using and it worked please
it doesn’t working.. Give some other solutions. Its giving for finding another KMS server.
sir but in pc it is hanging too much and all the activation methods failed…. , sir please assist me in this regards ….
Thank you so so much for the service! I’ve used it already for 3 Home PC’s and never had an issue so far!
you should be rewarded the Nobel prize for world wide importancy ! ! !
and another three excamation marks ! ! !
thank you so much!!!
p.s. here at this section, should be billions of thank you’s…
im trying this
Thank youuuu
Thank you! The 1st try on 11 Pro didn’t work, all licenses used. (or something like that…) BUT, the copy and paste worked like a charm.
thank you, copy paste to notepad worked
Hello, when I type “slmgr.vbs -xpr” in Run it shows me that my licence will expire on specific date. So this method isn’t permament?
Looks that way, 6 months ain’t bad though
thanks bro worked the first try
