    slmgr.vbs /ato

    Option 2 – If this is your personal computer or lab

    You need to change the product key to a valid retail or OEM key.

    Go to Settings → System → Activation → Change product key.

    Enter your genuine Windows key (for example, from the sticker or your Microsoft account purchase).

    Click Activate.

    If you don’t have a key, you can purchase one through the Microsoft Store from that same Activation page.

    Option 3 – Convert to Retail activation via Command Prompt

    If you have a retail key, you can also run:

    slmgr.vbs /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

    slmgr.vbs /ato

    0x8007007B = Windows is looking for a KMS activation server it can’t reach.
