I don’t get why pirates are bothering with these kinds of license hacks when you can just use a volume license server to activate all the Windows installs you want.
Well it was nice as in it was permanent, it got attached to your account and you could simply reinstall and so on without having to setup anything.
And also, it got you attached to your account, and Microsoft loves that you use an online windows account.
That’s true, but I’m not sure if the risk of Microsoft knowing exactly what machines have hacked keys while also having complete control over the account that unlocked your computer at boot is worth it.

Unfortunately if you want to play games with 0 hassle, Windows is still the only real option. Proton is awesome, but there are still games I want to play that either don’t work (or don’t work well), or require workarounds to get working
Unless you wanted to play multi-player games.
I couldn’t activate my W11 with a genuine W11 key taken from a previous W11 install.
I’ve run into this twice, both times I’ve had to deal with Microsoft Support for around 2-3 hours to resolve, shitty for a paying customer.
Yup, that’s the joy of OEM keys. I’m glad Linux doesn’t have any stupid DRM like that.
I have around 30 windows 7 pro COAs (used to work in a pc repair shop, pulled the COAs on every dead pc that came through). Most of them are from dells, but I haven’t had an issue activating on custom pcs. If anyone wants one, let me know
I would appreciate one if you would be so kind. :)

If you have a spare, that’d be amazing! Planning my new build for early next year :)

Got any left? I could use one of those too.

Could you please send me a key as well? My co-worker just asked where to get a cheap key, I’m sure that a free one will make her happy. :)
Win10 is unaffected right? I updated an 8.1 laptop to 10 and I had no issue with activation
An 8.1*
Sorry, I’m not a native english speaker
I know. My correction was meant to help.
But you can still activate it with this FOSS solution: https://github.com/abbodi1406/KMS_VL_ALL_AIO
