In this article, I will tell you how to activate windows 10 for free and not just this but also the activation does not require you to use any third-party application such as KMSpico, KMSAuto net or any other program. Therefore, you will not have to be worried about your system’s security and its protection from viruses. Both of the methods that I will tell you are completely safe and you can activate Windows 10 very easily. The activation procedure is quite easy, all the steps are explained below with images. The first method is cmd activation and the second method includes using Windows 10 activator txt file. Now, before activating Windows 10 let me tell you a thing or two about the Windows 10 upgrade.
Should You Upgrade to Windows 10
The concept of “do not upgrade to Windows 10” is due to some worry about Microsoft’s approach to keeping user privacy safe. Security specialists are saying that Microsoft is collecting some information about the user’s privacy and they are doing all this without their permission. The information that Microsoft collects includes age, interests, and online activities which many users prefer to keep.
One big problem the experts talk about is that after you install Windows 10, the options to send feedback and data to Microsoft are already turned on. So, many users might not even know that their info is being sent to Microsoft without them saying it’s okay. This means a lot of people using Windows 10 might not realize their personal info is being sent to Microsoft’s computers.
Even though Microsoft lets you turn off these data-sharing features in the settings, experts worry that the default settings are more about collecting data than keeping your privacy safe. That’s why they suggest being careful about updating to Windows 10 and recommend checking and changing your privacy settings to lower the chances of your personal info getting into the wrong hands.
Install Windows 10 From ISO File Instead of an Upgrade
If you are looking for a Windows 10 free upgrade, then clearly I can say that it is a very good way to download Windows 10 ISO File and upgrade to Windows 10. MSGuides (msguides.coom.in) provides you with all information on how to download Windows 10 for free and how to install Windows 10 on your system. Just visit these articles’ links and check out the detailed instructions for the corresponding process. There you will provide you will find out that every step is available with proper pictures.
Activate Windows 10 Without Any Software
If your Windows 10 is not activated, then you can follow the two methods available below to activate Windows 10 for free. Moreover, these activation methods do not require you to use any software such as KMSpico or other activators. All you have to do is to, simply follow the steps available below and activate Windows 10 for free.
1. Manual Activation with Command Prompt
The first method is the manual activation of Windows 10, which requires you to use CMD to install a license key, and then activate them using some commands. So, let me get straight to the procedure:
1.1 Run Command Prompt as Administrator
Click on the start button, and in the start menu type ‘cmd‘.
Right click on the ‘cmd‘ and run it as the administrator of the PC.
1.2: Install KMS Client Key
It is time to install a KMS client key to your system, in the command prompt enters the command ‘slmgr /ipk yourlicensekey‘. yourlicensekey is the activation key that you will have to install to your system in correspondence to your Windows edition. This will install a license key to your system. Following are some Windows 10 Volume license keys for different editions.
Before using these keys make sure that you use the key according to the edition of your Windows 10, for example if you have Windows 10 Professional use the Windows 10 Professional Key. Do not use some other edition keys for some other edition. If you do not use the same editions the activation will not happen. Therefore, it is must to use the exact key for the exact edition.
If you want to check the edition of your system simply open the Windows setting and go to the system tab. From there, you will have to select the ‘About” and then there you can check the edition of your Windows.

- Enterprise: NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
- Enterprise N: DPH2V-TTNVB-4X9Q3-TJR4H-KHJW4
Therefore, type in the command, for example ‘slmgr /ipk W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX‘ in the command prompt. After entering this command press enter to execute it.
1.3 Set KMS Machine Address
Next, you will have to connect the license key to the KMS server. To this you will have to use another command which is the “slmgr /skms kms8.msguides.com”. Enter this key and press enter.
1.4: Activate your Windows.
After connecting your license keys to the KMS server all that remains is to activate your Windows. Therefore, now we will use another command ‘slmgr /ato’ and press enter.
Error When Activating Windows 10 with Command Prompt
During, Windows 10 Activation there can occur some errors. Therefore to make things easier, I will tell you a common error and will also tell you how you can solve them.
During Windows 10 Activation if you see the 0xC004F074 error, this indicates that the internet that your PC is using in unstable. Therefore, before activation make sure that your device is online and try the command “ato” again until you succeed.
This error can also mean that the server is busy, therefore you can wait some time and try again later.
2. Activate Windows 10 using Batch File
This is another method, that can activate Windows 10 for free. However, let me also tell you that we, MSGuides (msguides.com.in) does not recommend this activation method anymore. This is because of the new update of Microsoft.

2.2: Create A Text File and Paste the Code in it
After copying the code, you will have to create a new text file and name it as ‘1click.cmd‘. Paste the code in it and save it. The file created is the ‘Windows 10 Activator txt file’.
2.3: Run the Batch file as Administrator
Now, it is time to run the batch file as the administrator. To do this just right click on the file and select run as administrator.
NOTE: If you are having the same error that says ‘the connection to the KMS server was unsuccessful’ then please read the article again. I think you are missing a step.
