actually you can use windows 10 indefinitely for free. It has a little watermark but otherwise few restrictions

  there's not even a watermark for me. i downloaded from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10I... i skipped the part during installation where it says to enter a key. after install, it says windows is activated, no watermark, no countdown. i don't use it, though. i just don't trust free shit anymore.

    Did you install Win10 previously on the machine? It recognizes the license from the hardware ID it generates.

      Yeah, it'd be interesting to get a definitive answer here...

        oh, uh, maybe. i bought the system off craigslist a few years back.
