    using regedit to remove activate windows watermark

    Hi Tarek

    Removing that watermark will not activate Windows, it just removes the watermark

    Windows 10 will still not be activated and it is illegal to run non-activated Windows 10

    You will still have the reduced functionality of a non-activated Windows 10, whether that watermark is there or not . . .

    Did you ever have activated Windows 10 and now it is for some reason not activated?

  3. Activate Windows Watermark

    Hi Duncan,

    The Windows activation watermark is usually appearing if the activation servers detect that a device is not activated. For further help with activating your copy of Windows 10, visit this
    link. If the same issue persists after performing the troubleshooting suggestions on the link, follow these steps:

    • Using Cortana, type Notepad and then click on Notepad (Desktop app).
    • Type the following commands in Notepad:
      • @Echo off

        taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe

        explorer.exe

        exit

    • Save the file and name it as Activation.bat.

    • Change the Save as type to All files.

    • Locate the file, right-click on it and then choose Run as Administrator.

    • After running the file, restart your computer and then check if the same issue persists.

    Removing Windows Activation Watermark

    Hi ledbylight,

    I’m Rey, your Independent Advisor, and a Windows user, just like you.

    I understand you want to activate your Windows 10 system.

    You are correct. It is illegal to remove this watermark. Thus even if someone removed the watermark, the system will still need to be activated and if the system is not activated, the system will have reduced functionality and will send not be able to be in
    use not unless the system will be activated.

    Though some users buy activation key through online store platforms, we always recommend to buy your product in Microsoft store since it's clearly legit and if in case you'll lose your products, you are covered with the Microsoft store's buyer's policy.

    Let me know if you need more help.

    Regards,
