Activate Windows 11 Online : Activate Windows Using a Product Key or Digital License<\/span><\/h2>\n

Activation helps verify that your copy of Windows is\u00a0genuine\u00a0and hasn\u2019t been used on more devices than the Microsoft Software License Terms allow.<\/p>\n

Checking your activation status<\/span><\/h2>\n

You’ll first want to find out if your Windows 11\u00a0is activated and linked to your Microsoft account.<\/p>\n

It is essential that you link your Microsoft account to the Windows 11\u00a0license on your device. Linking your Microsoft account with your digital license enables you to reactivate Windows using the Activation troubleshooter whenever you make a significant hardware change.<\/p>\n

Checking your activation status<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
\n

To check activation status in Windows 11, select the\u00a0Start\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0button, and then select\u00a0Settings\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0System\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0and then select\u00a0Activation\u00a0<\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0Your activation status will be listed next to\u00a0Activation.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Linking your Microsoft account<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    To link your Microsoft account, follow these instructions:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Sign in as an administrator to add your Microsoft account. To confirm you’re using an administrator account, select the\u00a0Start\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0button, then select\u00a0Settings\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0Accounts\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0Your info\u00a0<\/b>. Under your name, you\u2019ll see\u00a0Administrator<\/b>. If you\u2019re not an administrator, see\u00a0Create a local user or administrator account.\n

      Go to your info in Settings<\/li>\n

    2. Confirm that the administrator account is also your Microsoft account by checking to see if an email address is displayed above\u00a0Administrator<\/b>. If an email address is displayed, this is a Microsoft account. If not, you\u2019re logged in with a local account.<\/li>\n
    3. Once you confirm that you\u2019re an administrator and using your Microsoft account, go back to the\u00a0Activation\u00a0<\/b>page, select\u00a0Add an account<\/b>, enter your Microsoft account and password, and then select\u00a0Sign in<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      After your Microsoft account has been added, on the\u00a0Activation<\/b>\u00a0page you\u2019ll see\u00a0Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

      \n

      Methods of activation<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Depending on how you got your copy of Windows 11, you’ll need either a digital license or a 25-character product key to activate it. Without one of these, you won’t be able to activate your device.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • A digital license (called a digital entitlement in Windows 11) is a method of activation in Windows 11\u00a0that doesn’t require you to enter a product key.<\/li>\n
      • A product key is a 25-character code used to activate Windows. What you’ll see is PRODUCT KEY: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        After determining which activation method you use, follow the steps in the corresponding\u00a0Activate using a digital license\u00a0or\u00a0Activate using a product key.<\/p>\n

        Your activation method depends on how you got your copy of Windows 11.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

        If you associated or signed onto a Microsoft Account or associated your MSA with your digital license, that will be your MSA containing the digital license.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

        Buying a Windows\u00a011\u00a0Pro upgrade from the Microsoft Store app and successfully activated Windows\u00a011<\/td>\nDigital license<\/p>\n

        When purchasing from Microsoft Store, a confirmation email was sent to confirm the purchase. That email address (MSA) will contain the digital license.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

        The email address that you used for your Windows Insider login will likely be the MSA containing your digital license.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

        Buying genuine Windows\u00a011\u00a0from the Microsoft Store app<\/td>\nDigital license<\/p>\n

        When purchasing from Microsoft Store, a confirmation email was sent to confirm the purchase. That email address (MSA) will contain the digital license.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

        Activate using a digital license<\/span><\/h2>\n

        Digital licenses are associated with your hardware and linked to your Microsoft account, so there’s nothing you need to find on your PC. You’re all set once your PC is connected to the internet and you log in to your Microsoft account.<\/p>\n

        Activate using a product key<\/span><\/h2>\n

        A product key is a\u00a025-character code, that looks like this:<\/p>\n

        PRODUCT KEY: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX<\/p>\n

        During installation, you’ll be prompted to enter a product key.\u00a0 Or, after installation, to enter the product key, select the\u00a0Start\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0button, and then select\u00a0Settings\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0System\u00a0<\/b><\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0Activation\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0Update product key<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0Change product key.<\/b><\/p>\n

        You\u2019ll need to use a valid product key to activate Windows 11\u00a0on a device that has never had an activated copy of Windows 11\u00a0on it.<\/p>\n

        You\u2019ll also need to use a valid product key if you’re installing an edition of Windows 11\u00a0that wasn\u2019t previously activated on the device. For example, you’ll need a valid product key to install and activate Windows 11\u00a0Pro on a device that had Windows 11\u00a0Home installed.<\/p>\n

        During the installation, you\u2019ll be asked to enter a valid product key. After the installation is complete, Windows 11\u00a0will automatically be activated online. To check activation status in Windows 11, select the\u00a0Start\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0button, and then select\u00a0Settings<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0>\u00a0System\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0Activation\u00a0<\/b>.<\/p>\n

        \n
        \n

        When you buy a refurbished device running Windows 11, you’ll need to activate Windows using the product key on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) that’s attached to your device.<\/p>\n

        If your original hardware manufacturer (OEM) changed the motherboard for you, your PC should reactivate automatically. If it doesn’t activate, your OEM might have provided a COA card with a 25-character key under a gray scratch cover. Follow these steps to get activated.:<\/p>\n

        \n

        Note:\u00a0<\/b>To remove the gray coating that conceals the product key, gently scratch it off using a coin or your fingernail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

          \n
        1. Select the\u00a0Start\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0button, and then select\u00a0Settings\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0System\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0Activation\u00a0<\/b>.<\/li>\n
        2. Select\u00a0Change product key<\/b>.<\/li>\n
        3. \n

          Type in the product key found on the COA and follow the instructions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Activate after reinstalling Windows 11<\/span><\/h2>\n
          \n
          \n

          During reinstallation, you\u2019ll be asked to enter a product key. When you type in your product key, you will have an activated edition of Windows 11.<\/p>\n

          If you finished setup and did not enter your product key, you can still enter your product key. Select the\u00a0Start\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0button, and then select\u00a0Activation\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0Update product key<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0Change product key<\/b>.<\/p>\n

          Activate the latest Windows 11\u00a0Insider Preview<\/span><\/h2>\n
          \n
          \n

          If you\u2019re a Windows Insider and have been running Windows\u00a011\u00a0Insider Preview builds you\u2019ll automatically receive new builds that have been activated,\u00a0provided Windows was activated on your device before upgrading to the new build.<\/p>\n

          To check activation status in Windows\u00a011, select the\u00a0Start<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0button, and then select\u00a0Settings\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0System\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0Activation\u00a0<\/b>.<\/p>\n
