Manually activate Windows when "System not activated" is displayed on the desktop of a HUAWEI computer

If Windows is not activated, the following will be affected: personalized settings (wallpaper and theme color cannot be changed), activation watermark in the lower right corner, key feature updates (security patches), and Microsoft account syncing.

If the message "System not activated" is displayed on the Windows desktop of your HUAWEI computer, you can manually activate the system using the following methods.

You can manually activate the Windows system by referring to Skip the Microsoft account login and quickly enter the Windows desktop when powering on my computer for the first time.

When activating Windows Home edition for the first time, make sure that your computer has Internet access.
Some models do not support activation through Huawei PC Manager; in such cases, you can activate using a product key.

Method 1: Using Huawei PC Manager for activation

Method 2: Using a product key for activation

Method 1: Using Huawei PC Manager for activation
Update Huawei PC Manager to version 13.0.2.370 or later to support this feature.
1. Open Huawei PC Manager, click Troubleshooting on the toolbar in the left pane, and click Activation under common tools. (For Huawei PC Manager 14.0.5.910 or later, go to Quick services > Tools. The actual path shall prevail.)
2. Huawei PC Manager will check the activation status of the Windows system.
3. After the check is complete, follow the on-screen prompts to complete system activation.
Method 2: Using a product key for activation

A product key is a 25-character code used to activate Windows. To activate the corresponding Windows version, enter the product key in the system settings. If you're upgrading to an official Microsoft Windows system, you can also use this method to activate the relevant system as follows:
1. Connect your computer to the Internet. Right-click the Windows icon on the desktop and select Administrator (or Windows PowerShell (Admin)) from the shortcut menu.
2. Enter the command (Get-WmiObject –query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey and press Enter. The product key will be displayed in the format of "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX". Note that the input content is case insensitive, but you need to pay attention to digits and spaces. It is recommended that you copy and paste it into the window.
  - If a computer cannot boot into the system, it is impossible to view the product key.
  - If the query result is empty after pressing Enter, it indicates that the computer does not have a product key. (If the product key cannot be obtained, contact your purchase channel.)
3. Press Windows + I to open the Settings window, and then go to System > Activation. (For Windows 10, go to Update & Security > Activation instead.)
  Click here to go to the activation window.
4. In the Activation status dropdown menu, click Change after Change product key. (For Windows 10, click Change product key directly.)
5. Enter the product key you have obtained into the input box. Click Next and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the activation process.
