Getting rid of the "Activate Windows" watermark can be a bit tricky, but with the right methods, it can be done. Here are a few ways to remove the watermark using code examples.
Method 1: Using the Registry Editor
The first method involves editing the Windows Registry. The Registry is a database that stores configuration settings for Windows and other programs. By modifying certain values in the Registry, you can remove the watermark.
Here is an example of how to use the Registry Editor to remove the watermark:
-
Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
-
Type "regedit" and press Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.
-
In the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform.
-
Locate the "Activation" key and double-click on it.
-
Change the value of "Manual" from "1" to "0" and click OK.
-
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
Method 2: Using the Command Prompt
Another method for removing the watermark is to use the Command Prompt. The Command Prompt is a command-line interpreter that allows you to execute commands on your computer.
Here is an example of how to use the Command Prompt to remove the watermark:
-
Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
-
Type "cmd" and press Enter. This will open the Command Prompt.
-
Type the following command and press Enter:
slmgr /rearm
- Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
Method 3: Using a Third-Party Tool
A third method for removing the watermark is to use a third-party tool. There are many tools available online that can remove the watermark for you. One example is the "Remove Watermark" tool, which can be downloaded from the Internet.
Please note that editing the registry or using third-party tools may cause some issues to your computer and it is always recommended to backup your computer before making any changes.
Also, it's important to note that removing the watermark may be considered as an illegal activity as it is essentially bypassing the activation process of the operating system and it's recommended to purchase and activate the Windows license if you own a genuine one.
Method 4: Using a Script
Another way to remove the "Activate Windows" watermark is by using a script. Scripts are a series of commands that can be executed automatically, making it easy to remove the watermark without having to manually edit the Registry or use the Command Prompt.
Here is an example of a script that can be used to remove the watermark:
@echo off
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /v "Manual" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /v "ManualReset" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /v "ManualResetTime" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /v "NoGenTicket" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
