Activating Windows 10 and 11

Your key activates Windows in a few steps. Have the key from your order email ready.

• Open Settings, then System, then Activation.
• Choose Change product key and enter the 25-character key.
• Windows connects to Microsoft and confirms the activation.

## If activation fails Make sure the edition matches: a Pro key will not activate Home, and the other way round. Check that the computer is online. If Windows reports the key was already used or is blocked, contact us with your order number and we will look into it straight away.
