With Windows 10 and Windows 11, there’s no limit to how long you can use the operating system without activating it. Although, Microsoft may change this in the future.
How long can I use unactivated Windows 11?
What are the limitations of Windows 11 if it’s not activated? If you installed Windows 11 without a product key and it’s not activated, Microsoft allows you to use it forever.
Is it okay to use unactivated Windows 11?
An unactivated version of Windows 11 is nothing but a free or unlicensed version of Windows. Windows requires a proper license key and product key to work, but with the latest versions, some tweaks have been done by Microsoft, and one can use it without acquiring any license.
Does Windows 11 require activation?
You’ll need to use a valid product key to activate Windows 11 on a device that has never had an activated copy of Windows 11 on it. You’ll also need to use a valid product key if you’re installing an edition of Windows 11 that wasn’t previously activated on the device.
