Activate Windows within 2 days

You lose that privilege when you commit a crime.

HILARIOUS AND ORIGINAL *9999% SARCASM*

I would have just got a Windows 8.1 ISO and used KMSpico to activate it. Then I'd get GXN.exe from another Pirated Windows 7 to Windows 10 thread (look around the forum) and run it. 10 downloads and installs, you win. Fully activated.

This thread is pure gold, never had such a laugh in a long time!

Actually it's easier to have a genuine windows than pirating it. Check if your school or your work has some kind of promotion: most of the schools, universities, colleges and workplaces in the world have some agreements with Microsoft to give students/workers a genuine windows license

That's how I got my Win8 key, through school. It's nice not having to worry about a KMS spoofer or anything.

People pointed out that I was breaking the law, less respect in the community (not this one, it was a long time ago), people refusing to help me, etc.
I think most people get it free as OEM, but I don't have any stats to back that up. Regardless, that makes you sound like a teenager telling his mother that "everybody else was doing it."

Did I saw everybody? No, I said "most people" which is a fact.

Are you a software pirate? 57 percent of the world's computer users confess to pirating software according to a recent Business Software Alliance (BSA) survey.

Researchers surveyed 15,000 people from 33 countries and asked a direct question on software stealing: "How often do you acquire pirated software or software that is not fully licensed?" This year's survey result of 57 percent is up from 42 percent in 2011.

I don't know if I would necessarily call 57% "most people", really just "more than half".

You need to brush up on your math/logic. That means 57% of the people they surveyed have pirated something. That doesn't mean everything, and it also doesn't mean they've even used Windows.

I wasn't trying to be hilarious or original. I was making a statement.

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend updating to Windows 10 right now. There are so many problems with it.

well, since 1995, I pirated all my windows.
This is the first time I bought it, and I feel abused because I can't install it like I want. Next time I'll pirate again, it's so much easier to not bother with activation.

I got 3.11, 95, 98, 2000, XP, Win7 (bought)
that's more than half for me.

That doesn't stop my Junior High School from running a pirated/unactivated copy. One moniter in the cafeteria was showing the menu and in the middle of the display was "You might be a victim of fraud!" blah blah, talking about how Windows wasn't genuine. Every other Windows PC in the school was activated.
I went to a Chinese restaurant a few months ago and they had an unactivated copy of Windows 8.1.

You should report them if they ever mess up your order.

 

[filfat]

Or you could not be a dick, and buy Windows. Just throwing it out there.

You took the words out of my mouth mate

 

[pastaconsumer]

In the 10 to 20+ years they've been open, never have they got my order wrong. In fact, when I was younger, they'd give me fish for free. 'Twas a simpler time back then... Of course, I've since moved from the town... (by the way, my earlier comment saying HILARIOUS AND ORIGINAL was a Filthy Frank reference.)

Fun fact, Microsoft no longer uses Digital River for their ISO distributions, so my school no longer gives out ISO images or product license keys, so therefore, I have to resort to other methods.

Oh and Windows 10, until there is a some marvelous, compelling reason to get it, I'm not. Oh and the numerous issues it still has, compared to how stable my Windows 7 PC is...ain't gonna happen.

It goes a long way from pirating to committing an actual crime. Downloading a movie is in no way the same as killing someone and those who think it is are fucked in the head.

You're fucked in the head if you think all crimes have to be equal. It's a crime to commit murder. It's a crime to commit piracy. That doesn't mean piracy is equal to murder. It's circular reasoning.

Don't tell me you don't pirate anything.

Have you saved a picture you don't own? You've pirated it.
Have you downloaded a backup ISO of a game you don't own? You've pirated.

Come on just cut the bullshit, you're no saint either.

Saving a picture I didn't take isn't piracy (that made me laugh), but I didn't claim to be a saint.

People need to stop being so sensitive. I simply pointed out a fact: If he bought Windows 7, he wouldn't be having these problems.

Piracy is defined as illegal duplication distribution of digital media, but is not the same as theft as theft implicates the object in question is stolen and is gone for good. Pirating digital media is making illegal copies, but the original source is still intact, but is still a crime. People still think piracy is theft, it is not.

However, piracy being a crime never stopped people before.

I download old, deprecated games that don't give companies money, or don't give money to companies that are defunct or are not available outside sources excluding VC, PSN, XBN, Steam, Origin, GOG, etc. And yet, my saying that will cause many people to throw their arms up and scream "piracy".

If you have a product key, you can get a Win7 ISO from here. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

You know, I actually tried that, didn't do jack shit, and my copy of Windows is indeed legit and fully activated. I got it from Digital River a while ago through my school's CS program, so IDK why I can't obtain a legit ISO from that site. The stupid site kept telling me my key is OEM, which it isn't, so yeah, it's because of that I have to get it through shadier means. Thanks, Microsoft. It's like the want me to pirate OSes.

If you want me to prove my Windows 7 is legit and got it through legit means, and it's not OEM, I'd be more than happy to prove any skeptic.

Huh, I didn't think they'd distinguish between OEM and non-OEM keys and not let OEM keys download the ISO. That's pretty shitty, yeah. I assume all MSDN keys suffer from the same issue then.

Well it's student MSDN or the Dreamspark program they had going a while back. I can still log on to the student store, but there are no OSes to download, at all, and it tells me it's an OEM key even though it's not, so it's a big proverbial "fuck you" from Microsoft, piracy laws be damned. I'll activate a second instance of Windows 7 on my 2nd HDD just to spite Microsoft using the DAZ installer.
