    There’s always a group of people looking for an unnatural way to achieve the goal and same in the case of Windows 10 activation method.

    Lots of users want to know the answer to the question, i.e., Is there any way to remove “activate Windows 10 watermark” without activation or product key? The answer is Yes.

    Interested users can do so using a bat script hack. If you’re one out of them, then here’s what you need to do:

    1. Open Notepad File. For that, right click on the desktop, select New -> Text Document.

    2. Now, copy-paste following command in the notepad file:

    @echo off
    taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
    explorer.exe
    exit

    3. Next, click on the File -> Save as. This will open the “Save as” window. Here, select the location where you want to save the file (Prefer Desktop). Now you need to do two important things:

    • First: From the “Save as type” drop-down select “All Files (*.*).”
    • Second: Give a name to a file, it could be anything thing. For example “remove.bat.”
    • Keep in mind: You need to save the file with the .bat extension, else the script will not work.

    4. Next, head over to the location where you’ve saved the file and run with admin rights. For that, you need to make a right click on the same file and select “Run as administrator.”

    When UAC dialogue box comes up, press Yes to continue.

    5. A quick command prompt window will open-close itself. This confirms that the process is completed.

    6. Reboot your computer, and you will notice that, there’s not Activate Windows watermark.

      The batch file only works for about 2 hours and the watermark comes back again. Don’t waste your time.

        “it dont work”

        How eloquent…

        Give your computer to someone who deserves it or just throw it off a cliff. Would still be a better use of it than what your simple ass is putting it through.
