When I first saw the Windows 10 watermark on my computer saying “go to settings to activate windows 10” it looked horribly ugly and annoying to me. whenever I open my computer, Windows is always there to show me this annoying watermark on the bottom right of the screen. and always distracts me from doing my work peacefully.
at first, it seemed like it’s almost impossible to remove this windows watermark from the desktop for free because in order to remove it I had to purchase the windows license i.e. windows product key,
but eventually in the end after hours of research, I finally found the way to remove windows 10 watermark that too without paying any money.
I later found out that there are lots of ways to get rid of this Activate windows 10 watermark.
so based on simplicity there are 3 ways through which you can remove your windows watermark.
