Windows Activation (lemmy.world)

Hello people I have recently changed my CPU, Motherboard and RAMs so I was planning on reinstalling windows on my PC. Last time I installed Windows was probably or so 10 years ago and I can't remember for the life of me how I activated it.

Any recommendations on activating the new install? Or is it too much trouble nowadays and should I just buy a key?

Uhm... Thats the nature of taking things without paying...

You don't know much about piracy, do you? Pirated stuff doesn't always mean it's free. For example, services like kino.pub - pure piracy, yet have monthly subscription. Which is worth it. I'm a pirate since early 90-s and it's a huge multi billion dollar industry. From pirated VHS cassettes sold super cheap on flea markets back in the days to illegal software keys sold online for pennies today.

Nature of pirating, lol.

They take it for free and sell it to you, they are pirates, you are not, you just know you pay for a pirated product.

Lol what? You don't take something for free. Oh man, kids these days...

You are just not understanding the therm piracy correctly.
