This guide is for users who prefer to activate Windows 10 or 11 using the Hardware ID (HWID) method without relying on our automated script. If you'd rather use the script for a simpler process, please refer to our main activation page at [/].
Important Note: HWID activation is exclusively compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
How to Manually Activate Windows via HWID
To activate your Windows system manually, follow these steps precisely:
- Ensure Internet Connectivity: Verify that your computer has an active internet connection.
- Identify Your Windows Edition: To find out which edition of Windows you are running, open the Start Menu and search for "About your PC." The "Windows specification" section will display your edition (e.g., "Windows 11 Pro," "Windows 10 Home").
- Download the Correct Ticket File: From the table below, locate your Windows edition and download the corresponding XML ticket file. It's crucial that the ticket file matches your exact Windows edition.
- Copy the Ticket File: Transfer the downloaded ticket file to the following directory on your system:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTicketPlease be aware that theProgramDatafolder is typically hidden by default. You can easily access it by copying and pasting the full path above directly into the address bar of your Windows File Explorer. - Access Activation Settings: Open the Windows Settings application, then navigate to the "Activation" section.
- Input Product Key: Click on the "Change product key" button. Refer back to the table below, find your Windows edition, and copy the provided generic product key. Paste this key into the product key field in the activation window.
- Complete Activation: After entering the product key, allow a few moments for the system to process. Windows should then report as activated.
