Activate Windows completely free

In the digital age, it is essential that our operating systems run smoothly and authentically.
A specific problem that Windows users may experience is the need to activate their operating system.
This scenario can occur for a number of reasons.

What does Activate Windows mean?

Be it after installing or reinstalling Windows, making significant changes to the PC's hardware configuration, using an unlicensed or counterfeit copy of Windows, or trying to transfer Windows to another PC.

Activation confirms that your copy of Windows is genuine and is not being used on more computers than the Microsoft software license terms allow.
But what happens if Windows is not activated? What restrictions does this create for the user?

Consequences of deactivated Windows

In short, the disadvantages of unactivated versions of Windows are immense for the security and user experience of your system.

From simple inconveniences to significant functionality limitations, the limitations cover almost everything.
One of the most obvious limitations is personalization.

Users find themselves in a situation where they cannot change the desktop background, window colors, theme and other customizable elements of their PC.

In addition, there is a permanent watermark on the desktop that reminds Windows to be activated and serves as a constant reminder of the unresolved problem.

In addition, users are regularly confronted with activation prompts, which is not only annoying but also detrimental to the user experience.

Another significant limitation concerns access to Windows Updates.

In some cases, a non-activated Windows can restrict access to important security updates, which in turn affects the security and performance of the PC.

Perhaps the most serious problem arising from the lack of current updates is the security risks it poses.
Microsoft regularly releases security patches to address vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malware and hackers.
A system that is not updated is vulnerable to attacks that can lead to data loss, identity theft, and other serious security breaches.
This means that all doors are left open to attackers that an update would have closed.

Regular updates also ensure that Windows remains compatible with a wide range of applications and devices.

How to activate Windows permanently and free of charge

Now for the exciting part, how do you activate Windows permanently without paying tons of money for a Windows license?
In fact, there is a trick to configure the system so that Windows assumes that a product key is present without ever having purchased one.

To achieve this, we can run a command that was developed by a Windows community for exactly this purpose as an administrator.
And don't worry, you don't have to have deep computer science knowledge to achieve this, just follow the next steps.

Press the Windows key on your keyboard to open the Start menu.

Type "PowerShell" in the search field that automatically appears.

“Windows PowerShell” appears in the search results. Right-click on it.

Select “Run as administrator” from the context menu. A User Account Control may appear asking you to confirm the action.

Click Yes to open PowerShell with administrator privileges.

Copy the following text, paste it into the command line and press Enter.
