The Windows 10 operating system can be considered one of the most popular in the world. In order to protect it from pirates, Microsoft created activation through a key issued during the purchase of the OS. How to activate Windows 10 Pro using the command line?
Using the command line
One of the common official options is to use your phone to activate your version of the operating system. This method is based on activating Win10 using the command line (of course, this assumes that the user has an activation key). You must perform the following steps:
- Run command line with administrator rights.
- Enter the slmgr.vbs / upk command, which will reset all data about the Windows 10 key on the computer.
- Enter the vbs / ipk command.
- Enter the slui 4 command and wait for the registration window to appear.
- In one of the upper columns, indicate your country of residence. It is extremely important and obligatory in this case to indicate exactly your country of residence, otherwise there may be problems with the operation of the system.
- After that, another window will appear, in which there will be 2 numbers - one paid and one free. There will be no difference between these two numbers, so you can save your personal money and call the toll-free number. You do not need to close the window with numbers.
- After making a call on the other end of the phone, the answering machine will pick up the receiver. You must follow the instructions that he indicates. And he will ask him to clearly pronounce the code that is located under the phone number.
- In the event that the answering machine parsed the speech, and I returned the code, it will say that the data was successfully received. At this stage, you will need to click on "enter the code".
- The answering machine through the speech synthesizer will begin to name the numbers that need to be entered into the fields.
- If entered correctly, a message about readiness will appear.
That's all - all that remains is to save all the actions performed and go to the computer settings (category "updates and security"). It is there that you can make sure that the system has been successfully activated. But, if this method did not work for some reason, you can try other methods.
Key activation
This method is more standard, since you do not need to call anywhere. All that the user will need in this case is the operating system key obtained at the time of purchase. Important: the key from the Home version will not work for the Pro version of the operating system.
With this activation method, you just need to click on the PCM on the computer shortcut, go to its properties, select the tab with Windows activation and click on the product key. When entering the operating system license key, you must monitor the registry. If the key is successfully entered, the user will receive a corresponding message on the completion of registration.
