To use Windows 7, you must activate it within 30 days of installation. However, you can "trick" this activation process with Windows Loader. The activation process with Windows Loader is not supported by Microsoft. You can also use the rearm command to extend the activation grace period by 3 times so you can use Windows for 120 days.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Bypass Activation with Windows Loader
Step 1. Download Windows Loader
Step 2. Right-click the file you just downloaded, then click Extract Here to extract the application
Step 3. Run Windows Loader
The application window will display your operating system information.
Step 4. At the bottom left of the window, click the Install button
Step 5. After the installation process is complete, restart the computer
Step 6. Check the system activation status by right-clicking Computer and selecting Properties
The System Properties window will appear on the screen. If the operating system is activated successfully, the description Windows is Activated and the product ID will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Method 2 of 2: Extending Grace Period via Command Line
Step 1. Press Win and enter "cmd" in the search bar
Command Prompt will appear in the search results.
Step 2. Right-click Command Prompt, then select the Run as Administrator option to open a command line window with Administrator privileges
Step 3. Enter the command “slmgr -rearm”, then press Enter
After the script has finished running, you will be prompted to restart the computer.
Step 4. Restart your computer
Step 5. Check the system activation status by right-clicking Computer and selecting Properties
The System Properties window will appear on the screen. The grace period for system activation will increase to 30 days.
You can run the above command 3 times so you can use Windows for 120 days without activation
Tips
The "rearm" command is not a permanent activation solution, but is a built-in Windows feature that is legal to use
Warning
- If you have to activate Windows 7 with the above method, you may be a victim of software piracy.
- Use of Windows Loader may be a violation of Microsoft's agreement to use.
