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?

Piracy could also mean "buy shit for way less". Instead of a 200$ key you can have it for 2-5$. It kinda fits.

Plus you can have it free but it'll be a hassle or very low price and it won't be a hassle. The choice is his.

Thats not piracy then, you just buy your key from someone else, who probably got the key legally anyway.

Those keys are usually gotten via stolen credit cards. It's much more ethical to just pirate the thing.
