You've installed Windows 11 without purchasing a license, yet you're seeing personalization options and no activation prompt. It's possible your installation used a pre-configured or unlocked version, which allows full customization but skips the activation step. If you didn't pay for a key, the OS might be set up with default settings only. Check your system properties or search for "Activate Windows" in the settings to see if it appears.

Usually, you may keep the software unactivated for a month prior to the watermark showing. Was the file obtained from Microsoft’s website?

Visit Microsoft's site via a Google search for "Windows 11 download." Select the first link and then choose the Create Media Creation Tool to prepare a flash drive for starting Windows on your device.

However, it generally prevents you from adjusting any options or modifying the background image until you unlock it.

You're all set, you did it correctly. Unless you have a license tied to your Microsoft account, you might see the watermark within a few days. Verify your activation status.
