The first method uses Windows 11 activator cmd activation and the second method includes using Windows 11 activation txt file. Now, before activating Windows 11 let me tell you a thing or two about the Windows 11 upgrade.
About Windows 11 (Latest Update)
Windows 11 is the latest version of Microsoft Windows released by Microsoft on 29 July 2015. After 6 years of Windows 10, Microsoft finally released a new version of Windows which is way more attractive and way more advanced. Its users are increasing day by day and with the advanced interface, you can have many features. In the latest update of Windows 11 which is the 23H2, you also get an AI assistant called Copilot.
The other main highlights of the latest update include the File Explorer tab and other than this the taskbar look is completely changed. Not, only the taskbar but also the start menu is changed as well. The security is now better than before all thanks to the addition of a passkey and other than the users get a dynamic lightning experience. The Widget functionalities of Windows 11 are also much better. There is now a built-in RAR/7zip support that eliminates the need for extra tools.
Personal Experience with Windows 11
Let me share with you my personal experience after using Windows 11, I have been using Windows 11 on my computer for almost 2 years now. It seems like they gave it a whole new look that is kind of similar to Mac OS version 10, and they called it version 11. The icons on the taskbar are centered now, and they changed the icons for things like settings. Even the start menu is centered on the screen. The list of options when you right-click on stuff looks different too. The apps made by Windows look different now, and they look pretty cool with the new design.
One big thing that everyone is talking about is that you can run Android apps on Windows now. That means you can play games from your phone on your computer without needing anything extra. Well, I am not sure about the games but yes I am using a mobile application such as WhatsApp.
Should You Upgrade to Windows 11
Deciding whether to switch to Windows 11 depends on what you need. It is very different from Windows 10 and it has some new stuff that is being worked on. Therefore, it means that this Windows version is not final. So, if you want a complete version you should keep on using Windows 10.
However, if you like changes and want a more modern look then you can surely upgrade to Windows 11. Therefore, if you have made up your mind and want to upgrade to Windows 11 check out our articles on how to download Windows 11 for free and also how to install Windows 11 with USB Drive.
Activate Windows 11 Using the Free KMS Client Key
Now, let me show you how to activate Windows 11 using the free KMS Client Key. This complete tutorial is almost the same as the step-by-step instructions on how to activate Windows 10 for free. The only difference is that we are doing it on Windows 11 this time.
1. Manual Activation
Let me tell you how to manually activate Windows 11 for free. In this method we will use a command prompt therefore it is also referred to as activation through ‘Windows 11 Activator cmd‘.
1.1. Open CMD as Administrator
Search the command prompt in the start menu and from there click on the application and run it as administrator.
1.2. Install KMS Client Key
Here are some KMS Client Key for the edition of Windows 11:
- Home: TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99
- Home N: 3KHY7-WNT83-DGQKR-F7HPR-844BM
- Home Single Language: 7HNRX-D7KGG-3K4RQ-4WPJ4-YTDFH
- Home Country Specific: PVMJN-6DFY6-9CCP6-7BKTT-D3WVR
- Pro: W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX
- Pro N: MH37W-N47XK-V7XM9-C7227-GCQG9

- Enterprise: NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
- Enterprise N: DPH2V-TTNVB-4X9Q3-TJR4H-KHJW4
Select the key according to your Windows edition and use the command ‘slmgr /ipk kmsclientkey’ to install that key to your system.
Remember before installing a key make sure that you use the key that is exactly for your Windows edition Otherwise the activation might not work.
Now, if you do not know the edition of your Windows 11, don’t worry. Let me also tell you to, open your Windows 11 settings and then go to system. Scroll down at the end you will see ‘About‘ click on it and then you can see your Windows edition in the Windows specification section.
1.3. Select KMS Server
After installing the key now it is time to connect to the KMS server. Therefore use the command ‘slmgr /skms kms8.msguides.com‘ to connect to our KMS server.
1.4 Activate Windows 11
After installing the key and connecting it to the KMS server now it is time to activate Windows 11. To do use the command ‘slmgr /ato‘.
Solve Error 0x80070005 During Activation
When you are activating Windows 11 using cmd you can often get the error 0x80070005. In order to solve this error keep on trying the command “ato” again until you succeed.
2: Using a batch file (Windows 11 Activation txt)
Now, in the second method, we will use how to use Windows 11 activator txt simply called a batch file, for its activation.

1.2. Create a text document
On your desktop right click on the screen, a menu will appear then hover over ‘new‘ from there click on ‘Text Document‘.
1.3. Paste the Code and Save the Batch File
Open the new text document, paste the code, and save the batch file with the cmd extension and the name you want. Here I named it “1click.cmd”.
To save the file click on the file option at the top left corner and then click on ‘Save as…‘. Then choose the location where you want to save it and give it a name with ‘.cmd‘ extension.
Then right-click on the save file and run it as administrator.
When you run it will start working and after a few sounds you will see a line ‘Product activated successfully‘. This indicates that your activation process is complete.
Confirm the Windows Activation is Successful or Not
Now, when the activation process is complete it is time for you to check the activation status of your Windows. Therefore, to do so all you have to do is open settings and go to the activation settings of your Windows. There you can check that Windows 11 is activated.
