Help How to Activate Windows 11

If you're seeing the "Activate Windows" watermark on your screen, it means that your Windows 11 installation is not activated yet. To activate your Windows 11, you have a few options:

1. Product Key: If you have a valid product key, you can use it to activate your Windows 11. Here's how:
- Go to the Start menu and click on the Settings icon (gear icon).
- In the Settings window, click on the "System" category, then select "Activation" from the left-hand menu.
- Click on the "Change product key" option, and enter your valid product key. Follow the prompts to complete the activation process.

2. Windows Activation Troubleshooter: If you had previously activated your Windows 10 installation on the same device, you can try using the Windows Activation Troubleshooter to transfer your digital license to Windows 11. Here's how:
- Go to the Start menu and click on the Settings icon (gear icon).
- In the Settings window, click on the "System" category, then select "Activation" from the left-hand menu.
- Scroll down to the "Troubleshoot" section and click on the "Troubleshoot" button.
- Follow the on-screen instructions and select the option that says "I recently changed hardware on this device" (if applicable). This will guide you through the process of transferring your digital license.

3. Contact Microsoft Support: If the above methods don't work or if you don't have a valid product key, you can contact Microsoft Support for further assistance. They will be able to help you with any activation issues you may encounter.

It's worth noting that using non-genuine copies of Windows or unauthorized activation methods is against Microsoft's terms of service. It's always recommended to use genuine copies of Windows and activate them using the proper methods to ensure a secure and legal operating system.
