Here’s a simple guide to help you activate your Windows and Office software using PowerShell, including alternative methods and troubleshooting tips.

Opening PowerShell

Running the Activation Script

1. Execute the Activation Script:

   • Copy and paste the following command into PowerShell and press Enter:

     powershell

     irm https://get.activated.win | iex

   • Note: The irm command (short for Invoke-RestMethod) fetches a script from the provided URL, while iex (short for Invoke-Expression) runs it.

2. Alternative URL:

   • If the above URL is blocked or inaccessible, you can use this alternative, but note it will be discontinued after December 31, 2024:

Special Instructions for Older Windows Builds

• For Windows Builds 17134 and Earlier:

  • Run this command before executing the activation script to ensure compatibility:

Choosing an Activation Method
