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?
