I reset my BIOS and I guess it forgot my windows key, googled it and ran a single command in powershell (found on GitHub a microsoft owned platform) it instantly activated. I don’t understand why people pay for it, it was literally so easy to get around it.
I hear “oh go to a key reselling website you can get it for like $15” and it feels like how I imagine taking damage in Minecraft is lmao
It’s not free as in free beer either?
It is if you don’t pay for a license but at this point I don’t even want to use it for free.
I mean anything is free if you pirate it.
You don’t have to pirate it, you just download it off their website and don’t activate it. It’ll work, but you can’t change your desktop background.

And you get an annoying watermark. And an even more annoying operating system, so it’s not really worth it.
Works fine for the handful of times I need to run an Windows app throughout the year.
That’s basically pirating it but worse lol. You still are violating the license but also get an annoying watermark.
