Hello people I have recently changed my CPU, Motherboard and RAMs so I was planning on reinstalling windows on my PC. Last time I installed Windows was probably or so 10 years ago and I can’t remember for the life of me how I activated it.

Any recommendations on activating the new install? Or is it too much trouble nowadays and should I just buy a key?

    Running scripts from a random comment is risky if you don’t know how to check if the script is safe (and someone asking how to activate windows definitely doesn’t). Better to just link the massgravel Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS), as the top comment did.
