The guy that sold it to me said it wont affect anything and the only thing it does is get rid of my wallpaper, can anyone confirm this?
Also here's a picture of the specs, i got the computer for 425$ when the guy was selling it for 650$ and im not sure if i got ripped off. It can play GTA 5, ARMA 3 and Left4Dead2 on the high settings but still if anyone can give me a heads up

I'm fairly sure you can get genuine Windows for free, but it has to be by using the free windows 10 update. IDK, heard it on /g/.

ughhhh i fucking really rather not get windows 10, thanks for the help tho but fuck windows 10. idk tho maybe i'll get it if there's no other option tho i hate the bots on it
>>118655
yeah, the bots suck. You could just buy a legit copy of Windows 7 if you wanted to spend the money, or keep your non-legit Windows as it is.

It's not actually genuine, though. You need an actual legitimate Windows 7/8 to upgrade from. Which OP doesn't have.
Saying it won't complain if the windows you're upgrading from is pirated is like saying "the freeway says you can only do 50, but I went faster and it worked fine".

If a shop sold it to you, then snitch them to Microsoft, and Microsoft will give you a genuine Windows for free.

ok, so here's why I was confused

So no, it won't complain if windows isn't valid when you upgrade, but it after 30 days it'll complain with a vengeance.

Na i brought it off craigslist but the guy told me it was a problem before i got it so. So far there's no problems with it besides the fact everything looks ugly and i keep getting that annoying pop up every 5 minutes unless i leave the window open and dont touch it. The cmd-smug rearm doesn't even work, says all the activation have been used up
Again the only real problem is its ugly and i gotta leave the pic related window open or else ill get spammed with "activate windows" warning but otherwise everything works normally and game / programs run very smoothly despite the desktop looking like garbage. Im just worried of some problem popping up a few months from now that locks me out of my own computer.
I think there was a program called daz loader that can make windows genuine with out any keys. Last time I tried to get it the creator locked it behind adds

Iv been using the pc for a little over 2 weeks and i have a lot of files. Will reinstalling windows delete my files? And can i reinstall windows for free via torrent and would that copy be legitimate?
>Will reinstalling windows delete my files?
no but your programs won't work so will need to be reinstalled
>can i reinstall windows for free via torrent
sure
>and would that copy be legitimate
no
Have you tried Daz's Windows Loader v2.2.2
