I tried this and the first step worked with the product key but when I tried the second step to activate it told me that the activation key would not work.

Make sure you are opening the cmd prompt as an administrator.
Also some antivirus can block the attempt to change the key as protection

Tried this, a Windows Script Host window pops up saying “On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run slui.exe. Tried the -ato command too, says the activation key is blocked.
