> slmgr /skms kms.windowskms.com
> slmgr /ato
> slmgr /xpr

Three ways to check if Windows is activated

Confirming your activation status takes seconds. Use whichever method you find easiest — all three report the same thing.

1. Settings (easiest)

Open Settings → System → Activation. A green tick and "Windows is activated" means you're done; it also shows whether the licence is digital or key-based.

2. Command line (most detail)

Open an elevated Command Prompt and run slmgr /xpr for a quick activated/expiry popup, or slmgr /dlv for full licence details including the KMS renewal date. These are part of the standard slmgr command set.

3. Winver

Press Win + R, type winver, and check the edition and build — useful when matching the right key. If the status shows not activated, our Windows activator guide and the error index will get you sorted.

Run slmgr /xpr in an elevated Command Prompt. If Windows is activated you will see an expiry date or 'permanently activated'. You can also check Settings → System → Activation.
Windows is running without a valid license. Personalisation features are restricted and a watermark may appear on the desktop. Activate using KMSPico or the slmgr commands above.
Yes. Open Settings → System → Activation. The activation state shows immediately. Alternatively press Win+Pause to see the About screen which also shows activation status.
