There's so many ways to get any version of Windows safely activated for free, get rid of bloatware and junkware, or use a lightweight version of Windows. Why pay when they secretly steal so much more than the cost of the product?

Sorry Microshit, I will NEVER bow to your tyranny. I've been a happy Linux user since Windows 7 support ended. Best computing decision I ever made.

Okay, so if you sign up and activate OneDrive, and your Desktop, Documents and Pictures folders don't exceed 5GB, you're good to go for an extra year of W10 updates for free. Else, it's 30$ or an OneDrive subscription. Really, Microsoft, you're too kind to your users!

this is bullshit... just get the IoT Enterprise LTSC version and you'll have extra 10 years of updates, plus a semi-debloated Windows.
