Do you need to change your product key so you can activate Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10? There are two methods that will help you easily change the product key and activate.

You can use a great command line tool that will help you do this very quickly. Just follow these steps:

At the administrator command prompt, type in "slmgr.vbs -ipk "
slmgr.vbs -ipk 00000-00000-00000-00000-00000
To activate windows after changing the key, run "slmgr.vbs -ato"
Method 2: Using the Activation UI
Alternatively, if you want to use a graphical interface, run the following at a command prompt as suggested by Dave in the comments.
