hi,

activation in windows 10

activation helps verify copy of windows genuine , hasn’t been used on more devices microsoft software license terms allow. depending on how got copy of windows 10, activation use either digital license or 25-character product key.

digital license (called digital entitlement in windows 10 version 1511) method of activation in windows 10 doesn't require enter product key.

  1. go start, select settings, choose update & security, , select activation.
  2. if device not activated, activate phone option available.
  3. talk support , have key handy
