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.

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.

Step 1.3: Set KMS server.
Use the command “slmgr /skms kms8.msguides.com” to connect to my KMS server.

run command slmgr skms
run command slmgr skms

Step 1.4: Activate your Windows.
The last step is to activate your Windows using the command “slmgr /ato”.

run command slmgr ato
run 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.

    1. There are some changes made by MS in 24H2, they deactivated the scripting host for .vbs by changing the registry and made some other changed to the KMS (deleted).
      To get it work, you should deregister these changes with this in an admin-prompt:

      REG ADD “HKCR\.vbs” /ve /t REG_SZ /d “VBSFile” /f
      REG ADD “HKCR\.vbs” /v “PerceivedType” /t REG_SZ /d “text” /f
      REG ADD “HKCR\.vbs” /v “Content Type” /t REG_SZ /d “text/plain” /f
      REG ADD “HKCR\.vbs\PersistentHandler” /ve /t REG_SZ /d “{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}” /f

      and then use Methode 1, or (not tested) Methode 2 to made the changes.
      Remember to set (if asked) for the script the Scripting host correctly.

      At least for me it works perfectly, thanks a lot.

      1. For me this commands didn’t work (now I see that I used CommandPrompt instead of PowerShell)… but I’ve just run the batch file (“method 2”) and now it’s fine!
        Thanks btw! lol!

      2. i have downgraded the 365 to 2021 pro which work good with the same method will try next time. now i have already putted system in indexing no more changes for now. btw thanl you for your pro activly suppoting and guidance

  2. I am very glad that it really worked for my laptop . At first , I am not very sure about that . Amazingly , it can really activate my window . I used the method one . And I really appreciate you and your effort 💛💛💛

  3. Thanks for sharing it but people who are using non genuine, cracked or pirated operating system, Mostly facing problems and after the bogus updates their issues may become complex. I also used windows 11 pro trail with many issues on weekly basis but when I activated it there’s no more issue found. To fix it, I purchased license key from odosta store which I think is a Microsoft product reseller.

  4. Ich habe Ihren Artikel gelesen, und es ist wirklich klar und einfach zu folgen! Für diejenigen, die nach einer zuverlässigen Methode suchen, können Sie auch ein echtes Windows 11 Home von SoftwareSolution24 erhalten, um eine reibungslose und sichere Aktivierung ohne Produktschlüssel zu gewährleisten.
