Free Windows 10 Activators (Works 100%)

There is another method to activate your Windows 10 using free activators.

The best activators I tried and are working very well are:

  • Microsoft Toolkit
  • KMSPico

You know the best part?

You do not need to keep these software after use.

Even when you uninstall them, your Windows will be remain activated.

Now, I will show you how to use each Windows activator easily.

Windows Activator 1 –KMSPico

  • Also, you need todisable Real Time Protectionunder theWindows Defender Settings.
  • Now, downloadKMSPico software by clicking here.
  • Unzip and install the software (Password is 12345)
  • Open the software after Installation.
  • Once the software opens, click on theRed buttonand your Windows 10 will be activated immediately!

Windows Activator 2 – Microsoft Toolkit

First, you need to temporarily disableAnti-virus and Windows Defender Protection ( this is necessary because the antivirus will not allow Microsoft Toolkit to modify system registry which is needed to activate Windows).

  • Search forWindows Defender Settingsand click on it
search defender settings
  • Turn offReal Time Protection
disable real time protection
  • Next, download Microsoft Toolkit byclicking here.
  • Unzip the file and Install it. (Password is 123)

  • If that doesn't work, click onE-Z Activator.

How Not To Activate Windows 10

Although this method will also help you to activate your Windows 10 easily, I do not recommend it.

It involves the use of.bat file

  • First, copy the code below:

The server in the code might have access to your computer, and that is why I do not recommend this method of activation

Your system might detect it as a virus and remove it (one of the reasons why IDO NOTrecommend this method).

  • Save the file asactivator.bat and pickAll filesas the file type.
save code as bat file
  • Right Click on the file andRun as Administrator
  • Wait for the Command Prompt to complete running the code.
  • When you receive the message whether to restart PC, enterYand clickEnter.
restart pc
  • Your PC will restart andyour Windows will be activated.
