How to Activate Windows permanently in 30 seconds 

A Windows license is tied to your MB serial number. A MoBO change is the only hardware change that affects that license. With a new Win install, it might take a few days to re-activate, but it will if the MB is the same. You do get one or two migrations to a new MoBo with the retail license. They even have a changed hardware app in activation that let me activate Windows 11 on a new MB with my old license. I have a Win 7 (or XP?) license that I am still using on a new machine I built last year. I think that makes 4 MB's for that license, though the first two probably were not counted, as they used a key.

@@RalphUnger That is true! A non-Pirated Windows needs to re ties License and Hardware back, whenever you upgrade or replace a CPU or Motherboard. Memory upgrade, replacement or downgrade, HDD (if cloning) no need to

@@FelixLantiguaCamacho Only a motherboard change will trigger a permanent rejection of the license. MS has a command you can run that forces a active or not check, but it only sometimes works. Waiting a day or two always works if you have an active internet connection.

If it does run the scrip and just active it again, and it only would if you got a new Motherboard, keys is stored there

I purchased a Legit copy of Windows 10 OEM System build and after using it for 2 years I did a reformat no hardware change,and then it wouldn't active I try the automated phone crap that didn't work,then I got to talk to an agent and he was East Indian and kept saying of no so sorry sir key not Vindows 10 key it's Vindows 7 key and all I can say is the prick didn't do a dam thing for me. The sticker said as plain as day Windows 10 not Vindows 7 that idiot kept trying to convince me it was,that day I felt the old commercial where I think it was AT&T that used to say reach out and touch someone,I was so made because I was flat broke at the time and I wishing it was the future that day where you can reach throw the phones and choke someone,I said to the guy this is BS that I can't even send in a picture of my key so you can see it is a Windows 10 key.

The safe option will always be retail. At least with all my years getting keys. BNH-software is where you will have the least problems. OEM keys are usually very problematic in most cases.

@@Melissalove44 It's good that you say it. They have long wanted to pass off OEM keys as better than retail keys. This is not true, I can confirm that retail stores are the best option.

@@Melissalove44 Now I have it clear. Thank you for clarifying all my doubts with this matter of the keys. The truth is that I am inexperienced in these topics.

@@manu55pool A year ago I was also inexperienced. Now I know that an OEM keys site is not a very good option.

@@manu55pool I understand you. Over time you learn everything you need to know to avoid having a bad time with a key.

that's snotty sis

Also its ok to not activate it. I have used not activated windows 10 on computers for years, everything works except for some appearance customization and there will be a persistent activate windows message on the edge of the screen.

They paid the bills... Why it bothers? You donate?

@@mhavock advanced users on win 10 pro could also change the appearance through regedit, it's quite easy to do so.

He grifts "dirty electricity" filters instead.

Only changing the motherboard does this since the key is stored there

@@iDeparture sometimes the key could still work even if you swap out all components one at a time including the motherboard if it can pick up any of the same hardware signature being transferred.

🤣

Being an Indian myself, we really don't care about what piracy is... Its either simple ways from the manufacturer of any product, or we instantly resort to "side" ways of getting the same thing done WITHOUT the manufacturer... That's why most of the products made by Indian companies, are bare minimum, reliable, and simple... Because they know if they try to pull any complicated stuff, we are just gonna resort to other ones, which are more simpler...

Hahahaha!

Hopefully, everyone!

​@@ScottiesTech I don't need a fucking script to activate windows. If you don't have any hardware glitch and your PC hardware is perfectly updated to meet all the requirements of windows 10 PC or windows 11, after you check with PC health software, just ensure that your licensed copy of windows was linked to the Hotmail account. After that even if you reinstall a clean copy of windows of same version it will automatically get activated online. No script is required.

@@dipankarpal8054 gonna be real, sounds like you have no reason to be on this video then

That's like saying "i wonder how many people read the terms of use or terms of service for insert whatever here" very few people. This scripts been around for ages other programmers that DO know would've found something and this would cease to exist once that caught on. most people don't know how to read code which you know

Lost 3 Toshiba laptops due to corrupted bios, still got them, one day I will get some one with the right gear to fix them as authorised service Center we’re useless. 🧘‍♀️🇦🇺

the curse of dave plummer strikes again. i just repaired a failing industrial pc on a factory machine. windows xp sp2 non-oem and updating breaks the servo control board drivers... imagine hand cracking xp with no network and no scripts in 2024 because a hard drive serial changed. when will the suffering end? seriously

Never buy Gigabyte Mobo, always try to buy ASUS or MSI or ASROCK MOBO. Gigabyte sucks and that is because they earned enough money to keep up their quality and don't need it anymore.

@@dipankarpal8054🤣 people said I had an MSI bias, and i had a bad experiences with ASUS so i gave Gigabyte a chance....I can endorse MSI as they mostly did not overvolt the Intel processors. I guess ASRock get the next chance.

​@@dipankarpal8054Yeah I haven't had a great experience with my Gigabyte board, wish I just got an MSI one

Please how did you upgrade to win 11. Did you pay for it

Where in Africa? Egypt???

Most off lease refurbished PCs from corporate environments are already linked to Microsoft via their motherboard serials, so loading Microsoft OS, especially say Windows 10 Pro is a moot point and a non-issue.

@@fookingsoggood 👍

Sadly, not anybody can go Linux. Even though many more try since MS came up with "Recall" (or however it is called) … ;-)

So why are you here? Windows isn’t a circus, not to those that know what they’re doing anyhow.

Some still *need* at least one Windows machine running to do their job (often with an older Windows version, maybe as a virtual machine - where activation problems are as annoying as they are on real hardware). I'm glad I stumbled upon this video, as I currently do have the task of getting a Windows 8 installation activated to run some old software that doesn't run on Win10 and 11. The Apple ecosystem is nice, but not suitable for anyone (I'm not talking about prices, just the technical side).

That's nice of you to say, but a lot of device-specific software doesn't run on the Mac. The business world and much of government enterprise systems run on MS platforms.

What u doing here then isheep?

Yeah, those "buy a cheap key" are usually NOT legal. That's why they tend to disappear after a short time.

Plenty of tutorials on RU-vid that show you how to install and use Linux. Just have to look for them.

I tried to source more of them, but no luck. :(

I switched to Linux. After 1 day, I returned to Windows. No driver for 5Ghz Wifi + Bluetooth.

Fellow bangaldeshi, Hope your well!

@@nightrofx We are Well Now, Alhamdulillah ❤️❤️,

I had a problem with the graphics drivers on one laptop. A friend backed up to a flash drive and installed a diff version of Windows, then lost flash drive. Laptop freezing with new v of Win so I reinstall it again with the factory installed og version, but Windows did not accept the og key that is on the sticker on the back, nor did it detect it on its own. So there's nothing wrong trying to restore the computer to its original state.

Hello, could you please elaborate on how you did that? I would like to do the same!

@@davidsyrus3157 use the script, change your office edition if you have not then use the activation menu to activate your office
