Don't upgrade to windows 10 20h2 2009 version and do KMS Activation.

First do activation, and keep on upgrade to windows 10 20h2 2009 version will work.

KWong Hey Kwong, I used the First method and it worked fine for over a month but now it says “GET GENUINE OFFICE. You may be a victim of software counterfeiting. Avoid security risks get genuine Office now." when I open excel or word file document. When I go to File > Account it still shows activated. How do I get rid of that “GET GENUINE OFFICE. You may be a victim of software counterfeiting. Avoid security risks get genuine Office now." for good? There are many people here on forum mentioning the same issue. Admins, please help us resolve this. Thanks

Will KMS Activation work in the future for Windows 10 20h2 2009 or will that never be possible?

For me, the easiest way to install Windows 10 20H2 was to install Windows 7 from an OEM disk first. However, I used an HP OEM disk on a Dell laptop. The automatic activation of Windows 7 did not work because the vendor for the disc and laptop did not match. So I used the old KMS activation for Windows 7. It worked and then I was able to install Windows 10 20H2 on top of Windows 7 with no issue.

Hi All!

I know all of you are having anxiety with the 20H2 update on whether you can still get activated or not.
I'm here to assuage those fears.

I started way back Win 10 1709 a.k.a. Fall Creators Update, and all the way up to 1909. Until then I'm always activated. No pop-ups, no expiring notifications.

Then MS forced me to update to version 20H2. Update was successfull. However, everytime I login to my PC, a pop-up notification reminds me that my license is expiring soon. After some googling, the /ato option was the solution recommended. Did not work. It said there it cannot contact the server.

Ha! Let me try the to set the kms server again... /skms .... then tried the /ato option again.

It worked! Activated!

Findings:
20H2 unsets/removes whatever kms server you set in 1909 using the /skms option.
Mine was reset to ' 127.0.0.1:1688'

Solution:
Check your detailed activation status:

Note: All slmgr commands are via cmd (admin):

  slmgr /dlv

You should see the line below:

  Registered KMS machine name: kms8.msguides.com:1688

But if you see this:

  Registered KMS machine name: 127.0.0.1:1688

Then do the below:

  slmgr /skms kms8.msguides.com       *comment: wait for the pop window for confirmation

Then proceed to activate:

  slmgr /ato                          *comment: wait for the pop window for confirmation

Then verify you detailed activation status again:

  slmgr /dlv

You should now see a line like this:

   Volume activation expiration: 259200 minute(s) (180 day(s))

To know what date that will be run:

   slmgr /xpr

Conclusion:

Based on this experience, the kms activation for Win 10 outlined here in msguides.com should work in 20H2
The only step I hadn't tried was the "/ipk" because I already entered the product key while I was in 1909 and it was not reset during the update to 20H2.

Try it out for yourself. Cheers!
