How to Activate Windows 10 – This question may still be asked by many Windows 10 users, especially those who have just ‘migrated’ from Windows 7 or Windows 8. Moreover, for those whose Windows 10 was installed by a friend or service worker .
So that’s why, to help friends who are still confused about how to permanently activate Windows 10, both the Pro , Home and Enterprise versions , we will try to provide a full review in this article.
Come on, just keep reading.
Why Windows 10 Must Be Activated?
Can you actually use Windows 10 without activation? Yes, obviously you can. But the risk is, you will lose many important features available in Windows 10. You cannot access several settings menus and also personalize the appearance of Windows.
Apart from that, you will also see a watermark which for some people is quite annoying. A watermark that says ” Activate Windows ” usually appears in the lower right corner of the Windows 10 desktop that hasn’t been activated.
Which one do you choose? official license ( product key ) or Windows 10 activator ?
For those who don’t know, we can activate Windows 10 using a product code or digital license . This Windows 10 product key is issued by Microsoft and can be purchased at the Microsoft Store for around 100 dollars or around 1.4 million.
Apart from that, we can also activate Windows 10 Pro , Enterprise and Home versions using Windows activator tools or software such as KmsPico and KmsAuto Lite. But even though it’s one hundred percent free, the activation method using this activator is a ‘cheating method’ and is not legal , so we don’t recommend it.
So if someone asks which is better to use an activator or an official license to activate Windows 10, then we prefer an official license ( digital license ). Now for the problem of expensive license prices, it can actually be overcome by buying a Windows 10 license, be it a retail, OEM or volume type license, which are currently being sold at low prices.
You can find cheap Windows 10 product key sellers at online stores such as Bukalapak or Tokopedia. The last time we checked on Tokopedia, the license prices for the Pro, Enterprise and Home versions of Windows 10 ranged from Rp. 30,000 to Rp. 220,000.
Tap remember, please be careful if buying license from online shop . Make sure the seller is trusted by looking at the store rating (at least 5 stars). Please see how to activate Windows 10 based on the reviews we quoted at techilu below.
