Windows activation is a necessary procedure to continue using it legally. You can stop it in different ways, including by entering the license key.
Necessary
Windows license key
Instructions
Step 1
If you do not have a Windows license key, you can purchase it on the official Microsoft server in the "Purchase" section, as well as in various large online software stores - there are many options. If you purchased the Windows operating system with your computer, look for its license code on the special sticker on the computer or laptop case. Enter it in the activation window, call Microsoft technical support and find out the activation code based on the product serial number.
Step 2
If you do not want to purchase a Windows license key, use another method to continue using the operating system by translating the system date. To do this, restart the computer, when you turn it on, press the button to go to the BIOS - usually for this you need to press the delete key. Enter, if necessary, the password and use the arrows to go to the menu for editing the system date.
Step 3
Transfer it to the one that corresponded to the installation date of the operating system, exit the BIOS, saving the settings. Go to the operating system and see how many days are left before its activation. This method is not entirely convenient and has its own peculiarities in the form of incorrect operation of many programs and incorrect display of the system date.
Step 4
Use the method to delete the entry on the activation of their Windows registry, but keep in mind that this is illegal, like many other methods of free activation of the operating system offered by various Internet resources. Respect the work of developers and use paid licensed copies of the operating system and other programs, or use their free counterparts, for example, the operating system Ubuntu. Many of them are even easier to use than Windows.
