Hello people I have recently changed my CPU, Motherboard and RAMs so I was planning on reinstalling windows on my PC. Last time I installed Windows was probably or so 10 years ago and I can’t remember for the life of me how I activated it.

Any recommendations on activating the new install? Or is it too much trouble nowadays and should I just buy a key?

    Create a file on desktop called 1click.bat and paste this:

    Then just run it as administrator. Don’t forget to add desktop to exceptions in your antivirus/firewall or windows might auto delete it.

      I don’t know why I’m getting downvotes since this is working perfectly. Found that on reddit where many people confirmed its working and never had problems with it. Maybe solution from other post is better, take care

        Running scripts from a random comment is risky if you don’t know how to check if the script is safe (and someone asking how to activate windows definitely doesn’t). Better to just link the massgravel Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS), as the top comment did.

          Thx for explaining. If I found that link back in a day, I would probably use it as well :D

        Since your post contains windows activation keys in the batch file script I’m going to remove it. Rule 3. Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles. If you want to link to a web page that contains that activation script and base 64 encode the URL then that would be fine.

        But using the MAS method, as others have mentioned, would be my recommendation and only requires a quick web search for “massgravel github” to find.

            No problem bud, we are all learning as we go. You post is removed on the dbzer0 instance but removals can take a while to federate to other instances.
