So if you have trouble with the last part for activation. You can go to your settings and use the GUI instead of cmd to activate. Just copy key from code line. Good Luck. And thank you for this I just did it and it works. MS refused to activate my windows after HW change so THANKS! i emailed you thank you also lol.

Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ... Ενώ στην αρχή μου έβγαλε Windows 11 Enterprise, μόλις πέρασα στο τελευταίο βήμα με την ενεργοποίηση του κλειδιού με έβαλε κατευθείαν στην PRO έκδοση .. να είσαι πάντα καλά..🥰

@Huntertea don't follow those instructions, everyone in this thread besides me and you is a bot. Some of them are promoting scam websites, some of them are claiming the guide works (even though it exists solely to remotely access your computer). Just use MAS as its trusted and works properly.

Even though it worked but removed the key after learning that the windows is activated through organization's activation key and my pc can be remotely accessed through it. i would advice everyone to not follow this method

the problem is even if this work, you can't use any genuine key in the future to activate windows, but you can fix it by running this command :

slmgr /upk
slmgr.vbs /cpky
slmgr /ckms
slmgr.vbs /ckms
slmgr /skms localhost

This command will remove any kms server and after that you can use a real key to activate windows for good.
