Is your copy of Windows genuine and was it obtained through legal means?
>>
Yes.
>>
>>52135552
Yes, I get free copies of every Windows operating system thanks to my university.
>>
>>52135595
this. Thank you based Microsoft
>>
My skin color doesn't match the color of my shit, so yes, my Windows is legally acquired.
>>
>>52135552
my windows are made of real glass, and yeah I think the owner of my apartment didn't steal them. He's Serbian, but still.
>>
>>52135607
>implying negros can technology
>>
I don't use Windows, but the one I have in vm is from digitalriver and it's activated with daz loader.
>>
>>52135552
Yes, I downloaded it from microsoft. Then I installed a program to remove the annoying watermark. After all, they say it's free.
>>
I have access to original windows trough my university, but i use pirated windows 7, because I dont want my name tied to my windows cd key.
>>
Yes, I acquired it using MSN.
>>
>>52135705
*MSDN
>>
Yes got like 4 copies of win7 32bit and 4 more in 64bit. All legal because every prebuild PC comes with original dvds PLUS recovery plus preinstalled plus backuppartition.
>>
>>52135552
Yes random Chinese cartoon girl.
>>
>>52135552
The one in VirtualBox isn't even activated, so no.
>>
>>52135552
>windows
J E J
>>
bought win 7 once. used key generator after that
>>
Yes, it's genuine. Legal for me, too, AFAIK. The person with the MSDN who gave it to me violated their agreement with Microsoft, but there's nothing to say I can't use a key once obtained.
>>
>this thread
disgusting
>>
can't remember. I think I got it from MSDN back when I was still in college but I might have pirated it also. don't really use that crap OS anymore.
>>
My ultrabook came with it preinstalled and I bought Windows 8.1 with a student discount for my desktop. I think I'll use /r/microsoftsoftwareswap if I need another key.
>>
>>52136541
if you're a student why didn't you grab a copy from dreamspark?
>>
>>52135552
of course it is [spoiler]not[/spoiler]
>>
Yes and no.
>>
>>52135552
Where's copyright for that picture, or you obtain it through illegal means?
>>
Yes, it was free through my school
>>
>>52135595
>>52135606
They aren't free. They are paid with your university fees.
>>
No, I only use GNU/Linux
>>
>>52135552
Shamefully I own 2 legal copies. I don't really want to support a company that makes spyware OS.
>>
I get ISOs from DigitalRiver and install from them. Take the machine in to work and plug it in and it activates against our corporate KMS. Free and legit.
>>
>>52137138
They're free to him which is the only free that matters.

What about countries with free education?
>>
Of course not.

>2016 - 2 days
>paying for an OS
>>
Yes downloaded it from Microsoft :3
Activated with malware, then upgraded to 10, then did a clean install of 10 and activated with the Windows 10 key it generated for itself during the upgrade.
>>
>>52135552
Yes, I get free copies of it.
I don't use them though. Unless you count the VMs I only boot into if I really have to.
>>
>>52137138
Samples of food aren't free for the people making them either, but they are free for you.
>>
>>52135552
Nope.
>>
>>52135552
Yes. I participated in the feedback program for the Win7 beta/RC and they sent me a free copy of the retail version in exchange. Got a copy of Office that way too.
>>
>>52135607
i'd bet that out of all niggers that have windows and all whites that have windows the niggers have the highest percentage of legal copies. Just because most niggers who have it probably just bought the cheapest laptop at walmart while a lot more whites spend that money on a better computer and pirate it.
not really saying it's better to pirate it, but basically every gaymur with a self built desktop has pirated windows at some point. niggers at that age are in prison.
>>
>mfw freetards are too stupid to pirate Windows so they use Linux instead

Get cucked freetards.
>>
>>52136179

>>
>>52135552
>your copy of Windows

>>
>>52135552
Hacktivated Legal Key.
For some reason Windows 10 wouldn't activate on any of our PCs despite being legit upgrades from store purchased Win8 (updated to 8.1)

I asked around and it wasn't an isolated issue.

>mfw i got free windows on dreamspark and after few months of use i've reverted back to pirate because all of those network features like updates/other pop-up things were insufferable

So the story of mine is this:

>Buy computer parts with daddy's money
>Let the company build the rig for me
>Buy the cheapest windows 7 OEM
>32 bit because I don't know the difference
>Consider 64 bit useless since nobody used 64bit XP/Vista
>Buy stupidly selected parts, only good one being a Radeon 6870
>Ram isn't compatible with the motherboard, have to send the computer back and the guys manually set memory clocks
>Kinda works, always a bit unstable
>Way later with upgraded parts get fed up with BF4 crashing
>Search for reasons
>32bit OS limits ram usage to 4gb and other stuff, no wonder it doesn't work
>Download an 64-bit 7 disk image after learning the 32-bit cd key will work with it
>Use it, everything works great

>>
>>52138794
>32 bit os limits ram usage to 4gb
more like 3.5 since some memory addresses are reserved for the os
but really can you not into math? you shoulda known
>>
>>52139038
The installation guide it gave me was the most stupid, "don't tell you anything" approach I've seen coming from an OS.
Insert USB and boot -> click install -> enter product key -> "well walk you through the rest. Don't want you turning off stuff :^)"
>>
>>52135552
I actually use an os that is free as in freedom
