How can I activate Windows on my laptop?
Start the command line with admin rights.
slmgr.vbs -ato
This will activate Windows. Provided you have a valid key.
Look here: https://support.microsoft.com/...0-activate
Here's another tip from me: I also recommend creating a Microsoft account if you don't already have one. Then you can link the activation with it. https://winfuture.de/...92865.html
If you have to reinstall Windows 10, all you have to do is log in to Windows 10 with your Microsoft account. Then it is automatically reactivated without having to enter a key.
This has the advantage that the activation is never lost and if you e.g. At some point a new laptop / PC without Windows buys the Windows 10 license can be transferred to the new device.
