Windows 11, the latest offering from Microsoft, brings a sleek interface and enhanced features. Activating it unlocks a world of possibilities, and if you’re seeking a wallet-friendly solution, CMD (Command Prompt) has got you covered. In this guide, we’ll explore the steps to activate Windows 11 using CMD.
About Windows 11
At the 2015 Ignite conference, Jerry Nixon, a senior software development engineer at Microsoft, declared that Windows 10 is the final version. Many were persuaded by what he stated to undertake an upgrade at that particular moment. After releasing the insider preview build, Microsoft will release the stable version of Windows 11 in 2021, which is already six years later. What is happening? Is it a ploy for business? I’m not positive, but I find it appealing that a free upgrade to a more recent version of Windows is being offered. But take note that the new Windows has far higher hardware requirements than the previous one.
Experience on Windows 11
I have two weeks of experience with Windows 11 on my PC. It appears that they fully redesigned the user interface for version 10, dubbed it 11, and made it nearly identical to Mac OS. The start menu, new system icons, and taskbar objects are all centered on the screen. Compared to the previous version, a different set of menu options was visible in the context menu. Windows programs now have a more aesthetically pleasing interface thanks to a redesign. Maybe the most talked-about new feature in the media is the ability to run Android apps on Windows. It implies that you won’t need a separate emulator to play your preferred mobile games on your computer.
Understanding Activation:
Activation is crucial for accessing all the advanced features of Windows 11. While Microsoft offers official activation methods, using CMD provides an alternative route for those looking to activate Windows 11 without spending money.
Activate Windows 11 using CMD
1. Run Command Prompt(CMD) as administrator.
(Click on the start button, search for “cmd” then run it with administrator rights.)
2. Install KMS client key.
Use the command “slmgr /ipk kmsclientkey” to install a license key (kmsclientkey is the activation key that corresponds to your Windows edition).
