How to Activate Windows 8.1 with a KMS Key
If you have installed Windows 8.1 on your computer, you may need to activate it with a valid product key. However, if you don't have a retail or OEM key, you can use a KMS key instead. KMS stands for Key Management Service, which is a server that provides activation services for Windows and other Microsoft products. A KMS key can activate multiple computers that are connected to the same network.
In this article, we will show you how to activate Windows 8.1 with a KMS key in a few simple steps.

Press the Windows key + X to open the Power User Menu and select System.
In the System window, click on Change product key or upgrade your edition of Windows under Windows activation.
In the Enter a product key window, type in the KMS key and click Next.
Wait for the activation process to complete and click Activate.
Restart your computer to apply the changes.
Step 3: Verify the Activation Status
After you have changed the product key to the KMS key and restarted your computer, you should verify that your Windows 8.1 is activated successfully. You can do this by following these steps:
Press the Windows key + X to open the Power User Menu and select System.
In the System window, check the activation status under Windows activation. It should say \"Windows is activated\" and show the last five characters of the KMS key.
If you want to see more details about your activation, click on View details in Windows activation.
In the Activation window, you should see that your edition of Windows is activated with a volume license and that your activation will expire in 180 days.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully activated Windows 8.1 with a KMS key. However, keep in mind that this method is only temporary and that you will need to renew your activation every 180 days by connecting to a KMS server. Alternatively, you can buy a genuine product key from Microsoft or an authorized reseller to permanently activate your Windows 8.1. 06063cd7f5
