How to Fix “Windows Can’t Activate Right Now” Error
📝 Introduction
If you're trying to activate your Windows and you see a message like:
“Windows can’t activate right now. Try again later.” — don’t panic.
This is one of the most common issues. The good news is: you can fix it yourself, even if you have no technical experience.
Follow these easy steps.

If it doesn’t load, reconnect to your Wi-Fi or plug in your Ethernet cable.

Press Windows + I to open Settings

Go to System > About

Under Windows Specifications, check your Edition

Sometimes, just entering the key again solves the issue.

Click Change product key
