Windows 10: Reverting back to original KMS server

So... I had an unactivated copy of Windows 10 Enterprise on my laptop, and I wanted to use the personalization features that are only available on activated Windows. So I looked up ways to activate Windows for free (which I now realise was a very dumb thing to do). I came across this article and decided to follow the first method given in it. So I ran these 3 commands on CMD:

slmgr /ipk NW6C2-QMPVW-D7KKK-3GKT6-VCFB2

slmgr /skms kms8.msguides.com

slmgr /ato
​

And it successfully activated my Windows. At the time I did not have any knowledge about what I was doing. After doing a little research I found that it is not safe to use someone else's 'KMS Server' (I don't completely understand what that means by the way), as it provides a backdoor into your system. So now I want to deactivate my Windows and go back to the default KMS server (if that's a thing). Please help.

Upgrading KMS Host to 2019 on Windows Server 2012

Current environment is windows server 2012 RT, kms host 2016 runs in 2012RT. I want to upgrade kms host 2016 to kms host 2019. The issue is that after upgrading, the current count 50 if will be reset or keep current status. Because, the limit number of
activation is 25 clients and 5 servers.

Therefore, i have to confirm.

You can see the current count is 50, after upgrading to kms host 2019 , the count will be reset or keep?

KMS Server role on a desktop, is it even possible?

Hello, i was going back and forward trough many toutorials and tips and trics articles about using KMS licencing for office. And i am getting more and more confused.
I would like to know if am i even on a good tracks.
Long story short
School i work at have 60 microsoft office licences it is volume licence MAK type.
Activation counter is set to 0 of 100 so far but i didn't activate anything yet in fear of using up the counter.
I wanted to setup a KMS server, because i had read it can be done on windows 7/10pro for office, but i quickly run into a wall of not having microsoft domain controller(s) and installation asked for server remote tools.(i used that before i know what it is for)
None of the toutorials shows clearly what are system requirements of KMS server anyway so i don't even know if it can be done on standalone workstation let alone desktop operating system, or do i require dedicated windows server with a server role as a kms provider.
I do not know what is the difference between KMS key and generic volume licencing key listed in those toutorials, so i need help understanding the basics of how it works. Even a simple answer why it would never work without ... insert apropriate item name , would be a great help.

If not a KMS server, what are my options? How to expand that 100 activations limit or how to reset it when i use them all when for instance i am forced to reinstall 2 classrooms in a day because some students bypased antivirus to install counterstrike.

If you need to know i am not from united states , my school is located in Poland , Europe and my english skills might be lacking, so please keep this in mind before bashing me for poor manners or spelling. i am basically typing it phonetically how i hearit without english autocorrect and 90% of words are red because they don't fit polish dictionery plus i am dislectic.
But enough excuses. Any help is welcome. if you can point me in the right direction i follow it until i find solution.

 

To list KMS-server for activated installations

When the users can activate the windows installation using our KMS-server without buying or reporting the installation.

Is it possible to get a report from the KMS-server about activated installations or how can we control this kind of installations/activations?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards
