This is the most straightforward method to convert your evaluation copy:
- Press Windows + X and select “Windows Terminal (Admin)”
- In the command prompt, type: slmgr /dlv to check your current license status
- If it shows “EVAL” in the description, proceed with the conversion
- Type the following command:
slmgr /upk
This removes the current product key
- Now enter:
slmgr /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
(Replace X’s with your legitimate Windows 11 Enterprise product key. e.g- XGVPP-NMH47-7TTHJ-W3FW7-8HV2C)

slmgr /ato
