      I was about to say, I've got an unlicensed copy on my grandmother's *rarely* used pc and I put a custom wallpaper on it. She had purchased a computer with a license and lost the serial number, and there's no reason she needs to pay another 100 bucks to play solitare and check the weather forecast...

    • @cikkoocraft

      The answer to above question is No. According to Microsoft licensing terms, you’re entitled to use Windows 10 only when you activate it. While installing Windows 10, it is mandatory to accept these licensing terms, otherwise you can’t install the operating system. So as you’ve accepted the terms while installation, you need to necessarily follow them during operating system usage.
      Windows 10 works even without activation, but we will never recommend it. While it may get updates presently, Microsoft can anytime decide to either block or delay them. In that case, it will not be safe to use it.
