Activate Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11 Pro for Free

A guide how to get and activate Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11 Pro for free!

NOTE

If you see the Windows keyboard button in this guide; and you can't find it on your keyboard, you likely have/had Windows 10 which has the button . If you can't find that one, you likely have a PC that has been upgraded to Windows 8/8.1/10/11 from Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista/XP and other ones. If you have one of those, refer the Windows key button to as yours. A list of them is below:

Windows key buttons

- Windows 11

- Windows 10

- Windows 8/8.1

- Windows XP/Vista/7

- Windows 95/98

This doesn't say that your PC currently runs an older version of Windows. It is just the logo from the Windows version it came with. Your PC can always be upgraded to a newer version of Windows if it runs 64-bit and has a good CPU and GPU.

Why?

There are so many reasons why you want to upgrade! A few famous features which you provide of:

• BitLocker - Used to better secure your storage drive in case it is stolen or for any other reason.
• Remote Desktop - Used to access your PC from anywhere by enabling a connection to your device.
• Domain or Azure Active Directory - Used to make it possible to place the PC in a domain or use Azure Active Directory.

CREATE A RESTORE POINT!!!

Create a restore point to make sure you can roll back if something doesn't work, or anything goes wrong. You can find a tool to easily do this below.

Restore Point Tool

The Restore Point Tool is a good tool using Batch to create a Windows restore point automatically so that you can rollback to your previous Windows edition. If needed, you can later on restore to this point to make everything working again.

Tool Usage

1. Download the tool from here.
2. Run the file as administrator.
3. Wait some time. You will see some text that it is working on some things.
4. When it is done, it will prompt 'Create restore point done!'.
5. It will exit, and your restore point is created!

Restore Procedure

1. Open Settings (Not Control Panel).
2. Go to 'Info' or 'Information'.
3. Go down until you see 'Advanced System Settings' at 'Device Specifications'.
4. Click on it.
5. Go to 'System Security' section.
6. Click on 'System Restore'.
7. Click on the box at 'Select a different restore point'.
8. Select the first restore point in the list.
9. Click on 'Next'.
10. Click on 'Complete'.
11. Wait until the process is done. It should now be restored to your previous edition of Windows!

BACKUP YOUR CURRENT KEY!!!

Backup the activation key you are currently using. This is to make sure that if the process doesn't work, you can reinstall Windows/change the edition and enter your current key, so that you can access everything again. This only applies when:

• You have buyed a key online.
• It isn't connected to your Microsoft Account and is no digital license. If you have a Microsoft account with a digital license, you don't need to worry.

Use Third Method for PERMANENT Activation!

Third is for users with PERMANENT activation. This requires you to have a Microsoft account connected with Windows. Find it by clicking here. The first and second methods are NOT PERMANENT.

FAQ

Q: Am I also able to switch from any other edition to Pro?

A: The answer is almost yes! You can switch from almost any edition to Pro completely for free!

Q: Will I lose my activation key?

A: No, you shouldn't lose your key. It doesn't care which type you have (Key, HWID, Digital license, etc.). Built-in keys should be reactivated when reinstalling Windows, although this isn't always the case. A seperate key can just be copied and stored somewhere, which you could enter again later on (rollback first needed for this). Digital licenses are connected to your Microsoft account, so if you login it should restore automatically.

Q: Which upgradeable version are currently working?

A: If you're on Home edition, it is likely that it can be upgraded to Pro. Most other editions are also supported as well. There are a few which might not work.

Note for Users with Unactivated Pro Edition

People which already have Pro, but not activated, can skip to this step.

I Get a Notification: Your Windows license will expire soon or Something That way. What Do I Do?

Don't worry. You need to run the script again, but a recommendation: For users which used this guide to activate with the first or second method and now get this message everytime, use the third method to activate it forever. But it requires a Microsoft account. When using Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, the third method won't work.

Getting Started

1. What you first need to do is open CMD (Command Prompt) as Administrator by pressing + R.

2. And now type in cmd.exe in the box

3. It should now look as something like this:

4. Now press the 3 keys Ctrl + Shift + Enter.

5. Now you should have something like this:

6. Now, click on Yes

7. Now you have something like this:

The Commands

1. Now, type the following command: slmgr.vbs /upk

Note: this will remove your current activation key!

2. Now it will give an message, click on OK

3. And now this command: slmgr.vbs /cpky

4. It will give an message once again, and click on OK again

5. And now type this command: slmgr.vbs /ckms

6. Once again click on OK when you get a message

Edition Upgradable Check Command

Now we are going to check whether your edition has support for upgrading to the Pro edition.

1. Run the following command to check this: DISM /online /Get-TargetEditions
2. If you see Professional in the list, then you can upgrade your Windows edition to Pro for free!

Running Windows Pro installer

1. Now, copy and paste this complete command:

sc config LicenseManager start= auto & net start LicenseManager

sc config wuauserv start= auto & net start wuauserv

changepk.exe /productkey VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

exit

2. It will run an installer and you will see an message: % complete

3. Now wait until it's 100% and then you get an error (This is normal, this needs to happen)

4. When you get the error, just click Exit and then reboot your pc

5. You will now see a message that he is running updates and is installing features, just wait until its done and check info in settings, You will see that Windows 10/11 Pro is installed! (May show Windows Enterprise, but will be Windows Pro!!)

But we are not done yet, You will see that it isn't activated and that you can't change some settings, now we are going to fix that!

Activating Windows Pro

Now we are going to activate Windows Pro for free. Choose one of the methods below. The third method is recommended, as this will activate it permanently. This requires you to have a Microsoft account associated with your device and make sure you run Windows 10 or Windows 11. The third method will not work on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

Method 1 For Activating Windows Pro (Windows 8/8.1/10/11)

1. Now we are going to run some other commands to activate Windows 8/8.1/10/11 Pro

2. Press + R

3. It looks like this again:

4. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter

5. You will get a message, just click on Yes

6. Now you will get a command prompt

7. Type the following commands one for one to activate:

slmgr /ipk W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX

slmgr /skms kms8.msguides.com

slmgr /ato

Note: This does not always work. When running slmgr /ato it does not always work, but keep trying. When it still doesn't work then, try one of the other methods below. If it was successful, you now have Windows 10/11 Pro and it activated! You can check settings to see it.

Method 2 For Activating Windows Pro (Windows 8/8.1/10/11)

There's another method with a batch file.

1. Download it by clicking here.
2. It will start to download. Click Save (As) to save it. Now we need to open Windows Explorer. First, press the keyboard keys + R
3. Type explorer.exe in the box and click Enter on your keyboard or click OK
4. Now it will open Windows Explorer. You're here now:
5. Click on Downloads, or go to the directory where you saved the downloaded batch file. Now you are here (or on a different place):
6. Click on the batch file once, then right click and click Run As Administrator. It will ask for UAC permissions. Click Yes now. Now a console windows will open. Wait until it says <product activation succesfull>. Now you activated Windows Pro for free! It also asks if you wanna see someone's blog. Press Y if you want to and N if you don't want to see.

Method 3 for Activating Windows Pro Permanently (Windows 10/11)

Note: This method requires you to have a Microsoft account connected! This is the method most people may use as this one activates it PERMANENT.

1. Press + R to open the Run menu.
2. Enter 'powershell' in the box of the Run menu.
3. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
4. In the PowerShell window, enter the following command and press Enter: irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex
5. Wait until the windows for the activation tool pops up.
6. Choose the option for HWID Activation by pressing the key associated with it.
7. Wait until it completes. It might give an SKU value error, but it will complete successfully. If it doesn't try again a few times and it should work.

NO, NOTHING WORKED FOR ME.....I HAVE TRIED ALL THESE THINGS AFTER FRESH INSTAL OF WIN 11 YESTERDAY. NOTHING WORKS FOR ME.

OMG TYSM!!!! I LOVE U SO MUCH BROO!!!! Ok so basically I needed this for my work laptop which was connected to my company's activation service/domain something idk, and they let me keep the laptop after I left the company. But they disconnected the laptop from the KMS so my Windows 11 Pro was not activated. I looked on YouTube but all the videos I found required me to install some sort of sketchy .rar file from mega.nz. I decided to give up after one last try and I found your GitHub repository! I used the [irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex] method and it worked! Thank you so much! <3<3<3

NO, NOTHING WORKED FOR ME.....I HAVE TRIED ALL THESE THINGS AFTER FRESH INSTAL OF WIN 11 YESTERDAY. NOTHING WORKS FOR ME.

Weird, maybe it has something to do with OA3 built-in activation in the BIOS, not sure though.

No problem! It's easier than you'd think. I'm not sure though why it doesn't work on some HP computers. Op do 11 jan. 2024 13:58 schreef AquaCobalt ***@***.***>:

NO, NOTHING WORKED FOR ME.....I HAVE TRIED ALL THESE THINGS AFTER FRESH INSTAL OF WIN 11 YESTERDAY. NOTHING WORKS FOR ME.

@elewan9 NOW I KNOW THE ISSUE. This activation method needs a Microsoft account connected, otherwise it doesn't work. I see you are using a local account.

@Minionguyjpro
I installed win 11 again {official iso}, logged in with microsoft account.
tried all the methods, NONE OF THEM WORK.

I dont think that hp laptops with gen 11 processors can be activated.

I would advise you to test these methods on LAPTOPS WITH DOS (no windows pre installed)+11,12,13 gen intel processors. SEE IF THAT WORKS. I DONT THINK IT WOULD WORK.

I would advise you to test these methods on LAPTOPS WITH DOS (no windows pre installed)+11,12,13 gen intel processors. SEE IF THAT WORKS. I DONT THINK IT WOULD WORK.

I can't since I don't have have anything higher than 9th generation. I am saving up to build a 14th generation Intel PC so then I could test it on there. Still weird though, as it doesn't feel like something hardware specific but it is for sure.

I would advise you to test these methods on LAPTOPS WITH DOS (no windows pre installed)+11,12,13 gen intel processors. SEE IF THAT WORKS. I DONT THINK IT WOULD WORK.

Plus testing on DOS can't work. This is something Windows related, DOS is too simple to have it.

I think they can, but maybe it's some problem that is pretty much but invisible. I just saw that sppsvc is the Software Protection service. You could try disabling Windows Defender and see if that helps, but I'll keep on looking onto other fixes.

@elewan9 https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/activate-windows-10-on-a-hp-laptop/bde0537a-ed8c-466f-b7c7-6436fcd41baa

it worked on my windows 10 pro On method 3
(I have microsoft account connected)

Thank you. Method 2 worked perfectly fine for me

Yo, I got pro, but I cannae download apps from Microsoft store now? But this appears to be even a problem for a while for many ppl who bought windows?

This activation method use a kms server disant to activate windows, but what will happen if this server is down or out of service, windows will loose it's activation

Nothing has been work for my system System Model Dell Inspiron 15-3552
Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N3060 @ 1.60GHz, 1601 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
what can i do.........

Thank You. Method 1 worked for me :-). Let's see for how long.

Hello, thank you so much Method 3 magically works for me!

By saying thanks, Here's a video clip of me doing it. It would be an honor, if add you it in your clips of tutorial :3

ps. sorry for my english it's not my first language :3

This is quality work right here! I've been putting this gem through its paces and trying to break it by throwing some pretty crazy stuff its way. So far, I'm 5 for 5, Windows 10 Pro activated and working! Thank you very much, you solved multiple issues I've had laying in the closet for years!!!

For any non-believers or nay-sayers... Check this out: Lenovo X120e Licensed for Windows 7 Home Premium (Lenovo oem) Region = Singapore! I got this used and for doing some work on a newer machine for a friend. Windoes 7 wasn't activated as someone had tried to bump it to Ultimate version and of course it wasn't having it. I found left overs of some common activation work-arounds, etc and so the key, registry and pretty much everything associated were all just a total mess. Further evidence was thrown on top of the train wreck when trying to do a Windows 10 Home upgrade with the official ms iso/rufus usb bootable drive as a clean install and the installation worked with UK English language only and then just a buggy, unresponsive machine that crashed when attempting to use US AMD factory legacy drivers for Windows 10. Three more attempts at Windows 10, two attempts at latest LT Mint Linux and two attempts using latest LT Ubuntu. This little X-Series ThinkPad Lenovo is like mint condition and I just can't bring myself to toss it. Well, that, and its turned personal now... I've got it on good authority that it was talking smack about my pc skills! Bring it, Lenny...

HBC was the weapon of choice for the initial assault, and as it's done many, many times in the past, I blew right through any start-up and boot defenses its scrambled guts could throw at it! It was a long grueling battle waged over three days and nights with hardly a wink of shut eye. Instead of a huge blow by blow, lets just say in the end old Lenny had its clock cleaned... and its registry swept out, it's regional confusion set straight, it's aging original hdd tossed for a slightly newer and vastly better functioning 7200/500GB Hitachi. I had swapped out the original Athros WiFi b/g/n for a snappier Atheros n/ac, but even though it was of Lenovo contemporary origin it just wasnt having it. Opted for use of the built it GB-Ethernet and was glad for it! Too many after-initial-install setup errors to remember at various stages of the finishing up installation and finally, at attempt 5,485 (lol, just kidding, but it felt like it!) it took and completed setup by using an external usb keyboard and touchpad with language settings (from top down) UK - UK - US at the first setup screens while installing. I still could not get any AMD drivers, even trying to go to Singapore and dl them there and fiddle through the setup by simultaneously using US driver installation on another lenovo parts machine so I could follow along and make the right clicks!

Changed gears and went in search of machine information to try and list every helpful current hw/sw setting and try to sort out where it was failing and why. So many failures and not anything consistent was driving me a little nutty and I'll admit, I was eyeballing the open window in my office as a possible solution a couple times, lol!

That's when the magic happened, somehow a totally unrelated search result came back under duck-duck-go and lead my nearly down for the count backside right here. First glance I was like, "Yeah, right! Been there done this too many times..." This was day three and I got up from my non-ergonomic chair with a back ache that would have put the smack down on The Rock and got him out of our faces that much sooner, lol!

Food, drink, smoke and other things I can't mention and I was ready to kick its a$$! Not sure how or why and dont care, but this page was on my desktop where I'd left it, but was now a bit lower down the page and showing the "windows will expire soon" step and looking at the command list, I was like, "That's it?" I got on the Lenny and followed the instruction and entered the commands (for those in similar sitch, you can enter the multi-line, copy/paste group one line at a time, executing as you go (and for me waiting what seemed like a pretty long time 2-3 minutes, but think this due to my cluster-fudged machine and not this excellent work here!) and it resulted in the successful completion of each.

Now, I think its pertinent to remind all that at the starting point of this gem here at GitHub, I was on Windows 10 Home that took about 8-9 minutes to become functional (it wouldn't be called this anywhere else on the planet, but yeah, you get it!) where I could click or type and have my enter click actually do something and I could "see it" take effect in real time, lol! The region was anybodies guess as were so many other settings and possibilities that I could not use or discover because I didn't have 10-15 minutes to wait for each result. It took a long time, I mean all told 40 minutes to get through the first two sections under "GETTING STARTED" - The Commands & Edition Upgrade Check.
Turns out there was no product key installed and the Little Lenny was eligible for every upgrade under the sun! There were editions of Windows I had never heard of (My first Windows installation was Windows 2.0 on an Intel i286/12 which didn't work out until I got an i386/24 and a cirrus logic VLB 1MB GFX Card if memory serves and been at this since so not much had escaped my relentless pursuit of no-cost computing, lol!) I opted for Windows 10 Pro, plain and simple hoping for the best chance of success.

The installer ran, though it didn't error out in the end and after having to pull the power adapter to reboot I had a better working, non-activated Windows 10 Pro upgraded Lenovo laptop. At this point I thought with it actually running better I might see if I could take a quick look and notice ny changes or differences in the setting I was aware of prior to the upgrade and find a clue to the real culprit. Nope, any deep diving below desktop level or similar and it slowed to a crawl and finally had to pull the adapter out again to restart.

Reboot wasn't as snappy and the laptop was sinking quickly back into its old ways so launched Method #3. Powershell and right into activation we dove. It was slow, very slow, excruciatingly slow to load powershell to the point it seemed frozen and, of course, right as I yanked the power adapter out again, I caught a glimpse of powershell's cursor come up! Damn!!! Launched again and waited forever and PS was operational, well it took a command, anyway. Seriously, 4 minutes later I see movement and its doing its thing (I didn't dare wait between single line command steps and so no chance of screen caps or remembering exactly what was called what, but everything ended with a success suffix and I was in shock, literal life threatening shock! We were closing in on day four with about as many hours sleep throughout so it was a close facsimile, anyway. I lived if anybody is wondering, lol. The wife seemed disappointed, but hey, I was almost as happy to disappoint her as I was to have really saw that it was successful!) Not only that, but somehow, I don't even care how, but it also came up with a successful suffix under the heading "Changing region to USA" ..................... WTF? This was too good to be true, but yeah, after like nearly an hour of staring at "windows is preparing your computer, dont f*ck with it" I am right now looking at the logon screen with both the local account (built-in) administrator and my own local account administrator (bob)(No, not my name, more of a slung insult at the time of naming as in "for apples you mf!", lol! Yeah, it gets pretty personal at times in the old repair shop after 20+ years of Windows pissing me off more than my wife, and let me tell you something, this chick is a level "legendary" beotch, lol!) Oh, right, one more thing, not sure if it's noteworthy, but it's your enchilada so you decide. I remember reading somewhere here that if you're gonna attempt Windows 10 Pro activation have an MS-Account present, linked or something about it being on the machine your working with as your working with it. Well, I read this after I had started the upgrade and it wouldn't let me add after, so right now at the Windows logon screen I have no MS account and were about to see if it will let me add it now.

I'm logging in as bob, yep, the apple lover, so back in a minute with some results.... It saying "Hi" in under thirty seconds! "This might take several minutes" is up on screen now under a minute in!! Holy crap, it's acting like a real computer now! "Leave everything to us" and now "windows stays up to date to help protect you in an online world" on screen, two minutes in, now! "Making sure everything is ready to go" on screen 2.7 minutes in. Oh, damn, its a comedian now.... on screen = "Its taking a bit longer than expected, but we'll get there as fast as we can" LMAO!!! It's done more in three minutes than its done in three days and its apologizing, I love it!!!

HOLY FKN SH*T SEVEN (7) MINUTES AND WE'RE AT "CHOOSE PRIVACY SETTINGS!"

WTF??? NINE (9) MINUTES AND WE ARE LOGGED IN!!! (Local Administrator - bob(Mine))

Nine Minutes From "Ima bout to stomp this POS into silicon valley dust" to "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Lord!"
Now if I could just get you to write some code for the little woman that'd do the same, I'd finally be happy... and you'd be a multi-trillionaire or better, lmao!!!

Okay, it's go-time for the addition of an MS-Account after the fact - if this is even a thing for your "make it work and take no prisoners" Kick-Ass Award nominee of the decade solution, bro! Back in a minute, let's see what we got here... First impression: Kill Bill and donate MS to you!
Closed One Drive before it could infest my digital bits and the speed and responsiveness is up!!!

Settings/accounts/yourinfo/and the "sign in with a ms account" link... Entered my MS-Account and Password. Back to accounts after the "Enter MS-Account" applet froze and I killed it. MS-Account added and working, showing up under "Settings" page header! Added PIN, no issues. Under left-side menu "Email & Accounts" I now have my MS-Account showing under "Accounts used by other apps" as it should.

Okay, under "Settings/System/About/ we have Edition: Windows 10 Pro. Version: 22H2 Installed On: It's the date I originally installed Windows 10 Home! OS Build: 19045.4239 And.......... a quick check at my Microsoft account online and holy crap, its there, along with the others I've already done! So, I'm thinking it doesn't even matter if you have an MS-Account when upgrading, activating, etc and you can add this later as I just did and have it take, no problem! (Should I run into any issues in the days ahead i will def report back asap and tell all!

Bro!!! You Are Hereby Presented The Prestigious "MICROSOFT GLOBAL HACTIVATION HALL OF FAME" award!!!
I bow before you and acknowledge your supreme skills and wares and thank you profusely with shameless adoration!!!
(Best not publicly displayed, but revered where it matters!!!)

I can honestly say that I have used a LOT of these over the years, beginning with XP, and none of them has achieved the APPARENTLY UNSTOPPABLE interoperability with MS and given me such a heartfelt sense of gangsta justice as yours has!

Hope this "very long" reply was both informative, slightly entertaining overall helpful to you and others. All kidding aside, incredible work and professional quality! Thank you!
