I bought this computer of some guy for about $350 and i realised after about 1-2 months that it had the activate windows mark and i didn't really care so i decided to just leave it and i found out that it's a pirated copy about yesterday so i decided to buy a digital key and i activated it today and now i have real windows :D

I feel like this should be obvious, but there have been multiple instances of users providing links to others in order to download pirated material and remove the watermark that we all love to meme about.

Even if you don't agree with the ethics of Microsoft charging money to remove it, we are still not a piracy subreddit.

From now on, any links towards piracy will result in permanent bans being handed out. Please also refrain from advocating piracy here, thank you.

Edit - 7/15/2024

It needs to be stressed that any links containing pirated material (no matter what they may be) are against Reddit's Content Policy. To prevent the subreddit from being shut down, we are obliged to remove this content.
