that watermark is not related to Windows Activation. the watermark appears when you have "testsigning" mode enabled in Windows, which means that Windows will not check installed drivers/other kernel mode software for a digital signature. a digital signature is a reliable way to check the origins of a driver the user is installing but you might have your own reasons for test signing enabled. if you don't remember enabling it yourself, you can just disable it again using command prompt running as administrator: bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF restart your system after running this command and the watermark will be gone |
