### How to Activate Windows / Office / Extended Updates (ESU)?

#### Method 1 - PowerShell ❤️

:::info

1. **Open PowerShell**  
   Click the **Start Menu**, type `PowerShell`, then open it.

2. **Copy and paste the code below, then press enter.**  
   - For **Windows 8, 10, 11**: 📌
     ```
     irm https://get.activated.win | iex
     ```
   - For **Windows 7** and later:
     ```
     iex ((New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://get.activated.win'))
     ```

- If the above is blocked (by ISP/DNS), try this (needs **updated Windows 10 or 11**):
  ```
  iex (curl.exe -s --doh-url https://1.1.1.1/dns-query https://get.activated.win | Out-String)
  ```
- If that fails or you have an older Windows, use [**Method 2**](intro.md#method-2---traditional-windows-vista-and-later).

</details>

3. The activation menu will appear. **Choose the green-highlighted options** to activate Windows or Office.

4. **Done!**

:::tip

- Some ISPs/DNS block access to our domains. You can bypass this by enabling [DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/encryption/dns-over-https/encrypted-dns-browsers/) in your browser.

- To activate additional products such as **Office for macOS, Visual Studio, RDS CALs, and Windows XP**, check [here](unsupported_products_activation.md).
- To run the scripts in unattended mode, check [here](command_line_switches.md).

---

:::note

- The IRM command in PowerShell downloads a script from a specified URL, and the IEX command executes it.
- Always double-check the URL before executing the command and verify the source is trustworthy when manually downloading files.
- Be cautious, as some spread malware disguised as MAS by changing the URL in the IRM command.
