I am going to eventually use Linux (although need help with a good option for gaming and video library use), but I was curious how long I could use Windows unregistered for? What are the limitations of it not registered?

    Whatever you do, don’t find massgravel’s GitHub and run the PowerShell script (this is sarcasm btw)

        Then you may be delighted to hear that, not only do they know about it, they also use it themselves

        (I think it’s the same project, idk I didn’t read all that, I’m legit concussed, but it’s still funny)

      Oh wow, you rule.

      I installed Windows in a VM for the first time in years just last week. I’ll never use it enough to want to pay $200, this is perfect.

      I have 3 old DreamSpark Windows 7, 8 and 10 Pro licenses I’ve been upgrading/reusing between my main PC and laptop, so I haven’t bothered looking at the state of spoofing the MS activation process in years. Holy crap now it’s literally just on GitHub lol, used to have to download some zip on a random forum or a dodgy torrent…
