From the FAQ:
-In order to secure the system properly, it is strongly advised to revoke administrator privileges from the default user.
-By using any of these images you agree that you have obtained a genuine product key or are able to activate by an other authorized method.
-Can AME be activated with a legit key, like normal Windows? No.
This is ludicrous.
- JoeMamaAME 5y agoThere is good reason for all of those. 1. ~70% of the Windows attack surface as of 2020 is caused by using an administrator user (Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20210618023509/https://www.beyondtrust.com/assets/documents/BeyondTrust-Microsoft-Vulnerabilities-Report-2021.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20210618023509/https://www.beyon...). This does not mean you cannot do administrator actions, it only requires the admin password on each UAC prompt. 2. This is for legal reasons. You're not going to get in trouble if you don't follow it, and many people don't. (Unless you're a business) 3. Windows activation has telemetry, and there's no real reason to have it in the first place. If you still wish to activate with a license key, you can activate Windows before performing a manual amelioration (Guide here: https://wiki.ameliorated.info/doku.php?id=documentation_21h1 https://wiki.ameliorated.info/doku.php?id=documentation_21h1)
