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?
U can use it how long you like. There are only some settings, you cant cange (but only in the settings, when you use the old control panel, you can sometimes still change them). Biggest issues for a standard user would probably be no background image and the watermark.
Whatever you do, don’t find massgravel’s GitHub and run the PowerShell script (this is sarcasm btw)
I love how this has 81k stars on Github, a platform Microsoft acquired in 2018.
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)
😂😂😂 thank you, this just made my day. Sorry about your concussion though! And yes it is the same project, it shows in the screenshot.
Oh yes, do not do that! I certainly didn’t do it. And I’m gonna not do it again if I need to.
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…
I’ve posted the link to the Github project so people can avoid it
