Activating Windows with a product key is an essential step to ensure your system is legitimate, secure, and has access to all the latest updates and features.
Activation validates that your copy of Windows is genuine and has been legally licensed.
To activate Windows, you need a valid 25-character product key which can be obtained from a new PC, a retail copy of Windows, a digital purchase from Microsoft Store, or by contacting Microsoft support.
If you encounter any issues with activation, Microsoft provides troubleshooting tools and customer support to assist you.
