Activating Windows 11 with keys can be done in several ways and for free. This guide will show you the most accessible option that allows you to activate the Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems using official keys.
At the moment, Microsoft has suspended sales of its products in Russia, but there is an easy way to activate the Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems using (GVLK) universal keys for multiple installations provided by the company itself.
Using these instructions, you can activate Windows 11 and 10 for free (professional or corporate edition) using official GVLK keys and the provided list of available KMS servers.
Activating Windows 11 with official keys
After a clean installation, or running a non-activated Windows 11 or version 10 operating system, do the following:
1 . Go to the official Microsoft client activation website , scroll to the section " Windows 11 and Windows 10 ( Semi-Annual Channel versions )" and copy the key suitable for your system version.
2. Find the command line through the search, run as administrator and execute the following command by pressing the Enter button ( do not forget to substitute the key of your choice without quotes ):
cscript //nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk "W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX"
3 . Follow this link and copy any KMS server address, paste it instead of the last words in quotes and run another command:
cscript //nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /skms "KMS Server"
4 . Complete Windows activation with the following script:
cscript //nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
You can view the activation status through the command line by entering and running the command:
slmgr.vbs /dlv
Note : As you can see, the license is valid for 180 days. But don't worry, before it expires, the activation is automatically renewed for the same period. This will continue for 493 years.
