How To Activate Windows 10 For Free Permanently With CMD
This method involved the use of your command prompt (CMD). Here’s how to go about it.
I have created a video guide for this, you can watch the video below:
Step 1. Run CMD As Administrator
- In your windows search, type CMD
- Click on Run as Administrator as seen below.
Or you can right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator as seen below.
Either ways, your command prompt will open.
Step 2. Install KMS Client key
Enter the command slmgr /ipk yourlicensekey and click Enter button on your keyword to execute the command.
The following is the list of Windows 10 Volume license keys.
Home: TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99
Home N: 3KHY7-WNT83-DGQKR-F7HPR-844BM
Home Single Language: 7HNRX-D7KGG-3K4RQ-4WPJ4-YTDFH
Home Country Specific: PVMJN-6DFY6-9CCP6-7BKTT-D3WVR
Professional: W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX
Professional N: MH37W-N47XK-V7XM9-C7227-GCQG9
Education: NW6C2-QMPVW-D7KKK-3GKT6-VCFB2
Education N: 2WH4N-8QGBV-H22JP-CT43Q-MDWWJ
Enterprise: NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
Enterprise N: DPH2V-TTNVB-4X9Q3-TJR4H-KHJW4
For example, if you are using Windows 10 Education, enter command slmgr /ipk NW6C2-QMPVW-D7KKK-3GKT6-VCFB2 as seen below.
Step 3. Activate Windows
After installing the KMS client key, the next thing is to activate windows for free using CMD prompt.
- On the next line, enter the code slmgr /ato as seen below.
- Click Enter to execute the command and your windows will be activated immediately.
Now, you can confirm that your Windows has been activated successfully.
Go to Settings >> Activation.
If this method worked for you, then don’t forget to drop the comment below.
Otherwise, the other methods below will sure work.
Free Windows 10 Activators (Works 100%)
There is another method to activate your Windows 10 using free activators.
The best activators I tried and are working very well are:
- Microsoft Toolkit
- KMSPico
You know the best part?
You do not need to keep these software after use.
Even when you uninstall them, your Windows will be remain activated.
Now, I will show you how to use each Windows activator easily.
Windows Activator 1 – KMSPico
- Also, you need to disable Real Time Protection under the Windows Defender Settings.
- Now, download KMSPico software by clicking here.
- Unzip and install the software (Password is official-kmspico.com)
- Open the software after Installation.
- Once the software opens, click on the Red button and your Windows 10 will be activated immediately!
Windows Activator 2 – Microsoft Toolkit
First, you need to temporarily disable Anti-virus and Windows Defender Protection (this is necessary because the antivirus will not allow Microsoft Toolkit to modify system registry which is needed to activate Windows).
- Search for Windows Defender Settings and click on it
- Turn off Real Time Protection
- Next, download Microsoft Toolkit by clicking here.
- Unzip the file and Install it. (Password is mstoolkit.org)
- Then, open the Microsoft Toolkit.exe file, install and allow installation to be completed.
- Open the software and click on the Windows icon beside the Settings button in the software
- Click on Product Keys tab and select the Product and Edition (e.g Windows 10 Professional). Click on Install.
- Now, go to the Activation tab, select KMS Server Service and click Install.
- Finally, click on Activate. Your Windows will be activated immediately.
- If that doesn’t work, click on E-Z Activator.
How Not To Activate Windows 10
Although this method will also help you to activate your Windows 10 easily, I do not recommend it.
It involves the use of .bat file
- First, copy the code below:
The server in the code might have access to your computer, and that is why I do not recommend this method of activation
Your system might detect it as a virus and remove it (one of the reasons why I DO NOT recommend this method).
- Save the file as activator.bat and pick All files as the file type.
- Right Click on the file and Run as Administrator
- Wait for the Command Prompt to complete running the code.
- When you receive the message whether to restart PC, enter Y and click Enter.
- Your PC will restart and your Windows will be activated.
Conclusion
I believe by now, you have been able to activate your Windows 10 for free without using any product key.
Personally, I used the first method to activate my Windows 10 in 2021 for free without activator or key.

Worked thanks for this
Glad you found it helpful.
Very Good, Perfect View.
Thanks for the feedback, glad it helped.
Ok, but the first method doesn’t do anything. It says it installed the key and after restart windows is still not activated.
Use the other methods if the first didn’t work for you.
Says incorrect password on both for me
I have updated the password, it was changed. Check the new password in the post.
Or just use official-kmspico.com as password for the KMSPico software, that’s the new password.
Didn’t work!!!
Hmmmm🤔
Nice info. Thanks. Does using the above steps work if you install Windows 11 on a new formatted disk without having Windows 10 previously. In other words, can I activate Windows 11 with the same Volume license keys ?
Didn’t work

How many time takes it to activate windows 10 education version by using first method mentioned in this article?
If activating via the first (recommended) version and not the last (unrecommended), since no KMS server is used, won’t Windows need to be reactivated in 30 days?
If the last method was used (before reading this article), can the KMS information be removed and Windows still be activated?
how is it
Will I stiil get updates by using these methods?
i keep getting KMS could not be contacted error
hi
They dont work it says they don’t exist

Yes

Try the other methods.
Thanks Admin For Sharing Your Great Ideas.
Well this didn’t help me at all, first method gives me an error message after the last command: “Error: 0x8007007B The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (SWbemObjectX)”. I was trying to activate the Education edition. On the KMS site you link to I just couldn’t find the actual download nowhere, all the “download” buttons there just take you to the same pages in circles, neither with an actual download link. And the Toolkit is no longer available on that link you provide.
Hello. I got error some kind of formatting not working. Do you have any update for this using slmgr /ato is now problem from your way.

Thank you very much!

Hi I tried following your instructions but it failed to activate
the first command using the product key installs correctly
