well, it worked! i don't have any idea why some other people are posting links to websites to buy keys here if this is as simple as it was. it did say i had enterprise before i activated it, and i had to run the slmgr /ato command twice. much thanks!

Even if it simple and it works, its a temporary activation, once the kms server used is down, windows will lose the activation,so it's better to buy a cheap windows 11 pro key, sftkey has a great deal

Did not work for me unfortunately. I had a copy of windows 11 before this, which I got for free somewhere on the internet. It was just like this, some code that i had to put in CMD and it worked for about a year. This year I bought a new motherboard, CPU and RAM and it worked fine (since I think may 2023). In march 2024 I got the activate windows watermark and an error code 0x8007007B saying that it can't connect to the activation server. So I tried this but I get the following:

Translation is basically that it failed and error code 0x80070490.

Edit: From here I managed to fix the first issue (0x8007007B)
Then, if you get error 0x80070490 try this in powershell (got it from the same tool in the link above check here):
DISM /Online /English /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:"NetFx3"
So thanks, it worked!

Does anyone elses computer beep atfer doing this? it sings to me when i turn it on and during restarts is beeps one tone at a steady pace

Even if it simple and it works, its a temporary activation, once the kms server used is down, windows will lose the activation,so it's better to buy a cheap windows 11 pro key, sftkey has a great deal

This is actually great to know. I probably would have just been happy with this solution until one day I find out that Windows is no longer activated due to the servers shutting down, then I proceed to freak out. Thank you for mentioning this!

Still Working, thanks 😍

This works a treat! Thank you!

If it doesn't work for you try doing the commands listed under "Activating Windows Pro" again the first time it didn't work because it failed to connect, then I just did the exact same thing in the command prompt after it gave me an error and it worked

WORKSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

If it doesn't work for you try doing the commands listed under "Activating Windows Pro" again the first time it didn't work because it failed to connect, then I just did the exact same thing in the command prompt after it gave me an error and it worked

As I said, it's just a temporary solution, once the kms server is down, windows will lose the activation

Thank you! for sharing the product key. I got the Enterprise but another product key changed back to pro. Thank you! have a bless life ahead
