Offline activation of Windows was possible using the phone.
However, it appears that Microsoft has quietly removed this method, as users connected to the internet found that they can no longer activate their operating system using this method, as reported by Windows user Ben Kleinberg. on his YouTube channel.
Now, if you want to activate your operating system by trying to call the Microsoft Product Activation phone number, you will hear an automated voice response saying the following:
“Product activation support has moved online. For the fastest and most convenient way to activate your product, visit the online product activation portal at aka.ms/aoh “
ή
"Support for product activation has moved online. For the fastest and most convenient way to activate your product, please visit our online product activation portal at aka.ms/aoh"
This link takes users to the Microsoft Product Activation Portal for online product activation.
So, it seems that offline ways to activate Windows are probably no longer available, even though the official support documentation from the company doesn't mention it yet.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
