buying a key is cheaper then getting your past pc turned into an brick.

hey! im really late to the post but i just wanted to say when you buy cheap windows keys or activate with a "cracker" what you really end up doing is activating a windows SERVER key, like the ones used in a business like tech support so a manager can watch over the employees and monitor their keystrokes and current activity. never trust a cheap or free key, it is WORTH it to save up a hundred bucks you can throw away and buy a key, go legit and save yourself a loop of fear and possibly identity theft

dude just buy a cheap key online. ive had various methods back then and many involve registry key but all those methods either no longer work or the watermark comes up randomly ever time your PC wakes up and u have to shut down and restart, thier is no way to permanently remove it.

if u can try to find a sale from a legit site all the better. back then i managed to save 50% from a humblebundle sale. dont go to those sketch websites that sell 5 dollar key worse you'll end up with is a virus.

You could get a Windows 7 (or 8/8.1) key for cheap and use that for Windows 10/11 as Microsoft allows the use of it as part of a free upgrade.

I've been using a Windows 7 Pro key for Windows 10 Pro that I literally grabbed off the bottom of a cheap old laptop before it died. It seems to still activate fine and you can link it to a Microsoft account so that it can still work on devices with an embedded key (eg. New UEFI Laptops).
Microsoft does suggest that linking the Windows 7/8/8.1 key to a Microsoft Account is the only way to use it for Windows 11 though.

This is the only safe way as far as I know, other than just buying a new key.

The sketchy tools work by making a fake KMS volume activation (or Active Directory) server and tricking Windows into authorizing using that, along with blocking the real KMS server.
It's bad cause some of them act like a 24/7 VPN to the unknown server they are running, meaning they can funnel anything they want (cause they already gotta do that for DNS so it works) to their servers.
The other sketchy method is Active Directory activation (linking you to their Domain), which literally gives full Domain Administrator rights to some random people, meaning that they can even exfiltrate all data from anything controlled by the Windows System (including Microsoft Edge and Bitlocker), and set policy settings to prevent you from changing it.

Also you probably shouldn't be running anything older than Windows 10 as Microsoft is abandoning all security updates for legacy OSes. Windows XP is a very lucrative security hellscape and that'll soon happen to all the other legacy versions.

Yup, just get a valid cheap key somewhere. Then update all the way to 11. There is no reason to not have 11 now that it's been vetted for a few years and works great for games. And is an absolute great if you want to run HDR in general (if you have an HDR monitor or TV hooked up...or want to).

The only downside is the right click menu sort of sucks. But that is a 2 minute fix to get the old one back.
