How to Use KMSpico and KMSAuto to Activate Windows 11 (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you installed Windows 11 but don’t have a product key, you may see the “Activate Windows” watermark. Some users choose third-party tools like KMSpico and KMSAuto to bypass activation.

⚠️ Disclaimer:

  • These tools are not legal and not supported by Microsoft.

  • They can work, but carry security risks (malware, spyware, blocked updates).

  • The safest method is always to use a genuine product key or digital license.

Let’s look at how these tools work and how to use them step by step.

🔹 What are KMSpico and KMSAuto?

  • KMSpico: A one-click activator for Windows and Office. It emulates a Microsoft KMS server and activates your PC.

  • KMSAuto Net: Similar to KMSpico but includes background auto-renew so your Windows stays activated.

Both methods fake enterprise activation and usually last 180 days, renewing automatically.

🔹 Method 1: Activate Windows 11 with KMSpico

  1. Turn off antivirus & Windows Defender temporarily (these tools are flagged as “hacks”).

  2. Download KMSpico (only from a trusted source like official forums or GitHub mirrors – never random popups).

  3. Extract the ZIP file and run the installer.

  4. After installation, open KMSpico.

  5. Click the Red button → it will activate both Windows 11 and Microsoft Office (if installed).

  6. Restart your PC.

  7. Check activation:

    • Press Win + I → System → Activation.

    • It should say “Windows is activated with a digital license”.

✅ Done! Your Windows 11 is now activated.

🔹 Method 2: Activate Windows 11 with KMSAuto Net

  1. Disable antivirus temporarily.

  2. Download KMSAuto Net (portable tool, no installation needed).

  3. Right-click → Run as Administrator.

  4. Select the Activation tab.

  5. Click Activate Windows.

  6. Wait for the confirmation message.

  7. Restart your computer.

✅ KMSAuto will keep reactivating Windows every 180 days in the background.

🔹 Verify Activation Status

  1. Press Win + R, type:

    slmgr /xpr

    → Press Enter.

  2. A pop-up will show if Windows is permanently activated or activated until a certain date.

 Risks of Using KMSpico/KMSAuto

  • ❌ Illegal – not allowed by Microsoft.

  • ⚠️ Security Threats – fake versions often contain malware.

  • 🔒 Blocked Updates – Microsoft may disable or block your license.

  • 🛠️ System Instability – activation might fail after major updates.

✅ Safer Alternatives

  • Buy a cheap OEM key (trusted resellers sometimes sell for £10-20).

  • Upgrade from Windows 10 → Windows 11 for a free digital license.

  • Use the Microsoft Store to purchase and link the license to your account.

 Final Words

While KMSpico and KMSAuto can activate Windows 11 quickly, they are not legal or safe for long-term use. For stability, updates, and security, the best way is to use a genuine product key or digital license.
