Windows 10 free upgrade
The representative of Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 10 is a free upgrade for all customers
using a genuine copy of Windows 7 or higher. But this offer officially will expire on Friday so do not
hesitate to own it before it is too late. Your time is running out. After July 29, the upgrade will cost up
to $119 for the Home edition or $199 for the Professional one. Personally, that amount of money is
enough to pay my rent this month so there is no reason for me to deny that.

Should you upgrade to Windows 10

“Do not upgrade to Windows 10”. This seems to contradict the above analysis but that is the statement
of security experts. They said that Microsoft has been violating users’ privacy by collecting their
personal information like gender, age, hobby, and Internet habits… without your permission. The
options relating to sending feedback and data to Microsoft were enabled automatically from the
moment that you installed Windows 10 successfully so most people don’t know about them. However,
you can disable them in Settings/Privacy easily.

Install Windows 10 using ISO file instead of an upgrade

You can get the latest version of Windows 10 Professional here if you don’t have it already. If you have
ever installed any versions of Windows before, I am sure you will have no difficulty getting started with
Windows 10. If you are looking to install it with a USB flash drive, please search for “how to install
Windows 10 from a bootable USB stick”. There are many detailed instructions for installing Windows 10
on the web.

Activate Windows 10 without using any software

Windows 10 is not activated

If you are using another version of Windows, please navigate to the Windows OS category and select a
suitable article.

Method 1: Manual activation

Step 1.1: Open Command Prompt as administrator.

Click on the start button, search for “cmd” then run it with administrator rights.

Open cmd as admin

Step 1.2: Install KMS client key.

Use the command “slmgr /ipk yourlicensekey” to install a license key (yourlicensekey is the activation
key that corresponds to your Windows edition). The following is the list of Windows 10 Volume license
keys.

Home: TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99
Home N: 3KHY7-WNT83-DGQKR-F7HPR-844BM
Home Single Language: 7HNRX-D7KGG-3K4RQ-4WPJ4-YTDFH
Home Country Specific: PVMJN-6DFY6-9CCP6-7BKTT-D3WVR
Professional: W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX
Professional N: MH37W-N47XK-V7XM9-C7227-GCQG9

Enterprise: NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
Enterprise N: DPH2V-TTNVB-4X9Q3-TJR4H-KHJW4

Note: You need to hit [Enter] key to execute commands.

Install Windows license key

Step 1.3: Set KMS machine address.

Use the command “slmgr /skms kms8.msguides.com” to connect to my KMS server.

Set KMS server

Step 1.4: Activate your Windows.

The last step is to activate your Windows using the command “slmgr /ato”.

Run command slmgr ato

0xC004F074 error code

If you see the error 0xC004F074, it means that your internet connection is unstable or the server is
busy. Please make sure your device is online and try the command “ato” again until you succeed.

Windows activated successfully

Now check the activation status again.

Windows 10 is activated successfully

Method 2: Using a batch file

This one is not recommended anymore due to the new update of Microsoft.

Step 2.1: Copy the code below into a new text document.

Hi there, I got an error message saying I couldn’t get the activation key (step 1.2), and then I continued
to step 1.3, and now none of my files are showing in file explorer for some reason. Is it possible to
reverse this step and go back to how I had it before somehow?
