How To force Windows operating system activation, Please do the following:

  1. Click on the Start menu and type "cmd" in the search bar.

  2. Right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator".

  3. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:


    slmgr.vbs -ato

    This command will activate Windows by connecting to Microsoft's activation servers.

     

  4. Wait for the activation process to complete. You should see a message indicating that Windows has been activated successfully.

  5. If the above command does not work, you can try the following command:

    slmgr.vbs -rearm

    This command will reset the activation grace period and allow you to enter a new product key or activate Windows again.

Forcing Windows activation is only legal if you have a valid license key for the operating system.

 

If you do not have a valid license key, you should purchase one from Microsoft or an authorized reseller before activating Windows.
