In this article, we will explore the different digital entitlement activation methods available in Windows 10. Digital entitlement is a new activation method introduced by Microsoft to simplify the activation process for Windows 10. It is designed to provide a seamless and hassle-free activation experience for users.

Digital entitlement activation methods are important for Windows 10 users as they allow them to activate their operating system without the need for a product key. This is particularly useful for users who have upgraded from a previous version of Windows or have purchased a new device with Windows 10 pre-installed.

To align this topic with the Windows environment, we will focus on the activation methods that are specific to Windows 10.

Examples:

1. Activation through the Settings App:

• Open the Settings app by clicking on the Start menu and selecting "Settings."


• Go to the "Update & Security" section and click on "Activation" in the left sidebar.


• Click on the "Change product key" link and enter a valid product key if you have one.


• If you don't have a product key, click on the "Go to Store" button and follow the prompts to purchase a digital license.

2. Activation using a Command Prompt:

• Open a Command Prompt with administrative privileges by right-clicking on the Start menu and selecting "Command Prompt (Admin)."


• Type the following command and press Enter: slmgr.vbs /ipk <product key>


• Replace <product key> with your valid product key. If you don't have a product key, you can use a generic key provided by Microsoft for testing purposes.


• Once the command is executed successfully, you will see a confirmation message.

3. Activation using PowerShell:

• Open PowerShell with administrative privileges by right-clicking on the Start menu, selecting "Windows PowerShell (Admin)."


• Run the following command: Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Server~~~~0.0.1.0


• This command will install the OpenSSH server capability on your Windows 10 machine.
