Windows 11 Activation Guide – Step by Step

If you’ve just upgraded to Windows 11 or performed a clean installation, the next important step is activation. Activating Windows ensures that your copy is genuine, secure, and gives you access to all features. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about activating Windows 11 Pro or Home using a genuine license key.

2. Navigate to System > Activation.

3. Here, you’ll see your activation status (Activated with a digital license / Not activated).
