Get Windows 7 version of your choice, install it then use DAZ Loader. Then you use the MediaCreationTool from Microsoft to upgrade to Windows 10 and you have a free Windows 10 key tied to your hardware.

>>56421567
No. It's usually a pretty terrible idea to run an old OS on a laptop because the drivers will flat out refuse to install, so you'll miss out on a lot of features.

I have an asus laptop that had Windows 8 when I bought it. Tried Win7, the drivers just told me that they dont work with older OS.

Every Windows is a "botnet", but pirating an OS that doesn't match the checksums from Microsoft is literally a botnet you epic retard. Ever wonder how you can get a "pre activated" version of Windows from these torrents that are several years old? The installer is running executables that were added by the uploader. You have no idea what any of these might be.

>>56421335
>It magically creates a new key that has a matching record on Microsoft's Genuine server despite Windows 7 not having a genuine product key

No, it just upgrades to Windows 10 with DAZ Loader.

>>56422196
>not knowing where to find clean isos

wew lad

>>56422293
You're wrong. You can even completely wipe the hard drive and install the same version of Windows 10. The moment it can connect to Microsoft servers it will grab the key again and activate your OS, even with no trace of DAZ on your system.

>>56422328
That sounds to me like a very serious legal liability. You created a genuine key on their servers, which will be regularly checked against over the internet, against their license agreement. At least with an activator you're just blocking communications with the activation servers.

>>56422334
Get Windows ISO downloader. It's an official software to download the latest clean ISOs for Windows 7-8-10 in all available distributions.

Heads up: It gets them from Microsoft servers, so it's slow as all fuck.

Should be able to download it (legally) from the pirate bay, and then use it free for 120 days by rearming license using the following

>>56422419
I was fully expecting an update or banwave to happen that would hit all the pirated upgrades but we're now well over a year into W10 and that has not happened yet.

So it might be that the W10 upgrade process doesn't even take original W7/8 key into account and generates a new one simply if the Windows you're upgrading thinks it's genuine.

Alternatively Microsoft silently condones pirates because what they really want is people on W10 so they can data mine them, serve them ads and get them tied into their store and other services.

DELET THIS

I don't know why people consider pirated software so dangerous. Sure it's a good way to spread your malware but when it comes to Windows this same danger applies to every single download not from the official website of well known big companies.

Keep in mind that a lot of the pirates are ideological zealots much like the FOSS community but with the other meaning of free. Not malicious folk looking to screw people over.

I've been pirating things for a good 16 years and never once had a virus, ransomware or malware. Not noticeable ones anyway.

Just buy an eBay key dude

If it works, great
If it doesn't, refund

So I tried to install Windows on my laptop, which I previously nuked, using my work PC:
>Need to create bootable USB
>Can only donload media creation tool using IE which I can't run without admin priviledges
>Download portable apps and download mozilla
>Install agent spoofer and pretend to be Ubuntu
>Download 64-bit .iso for Windows 8.1
>Can't run portable Rufus without admin priviledges
>Use a friend's ancient Vista laptop to create bootable USB
>Install W8.1 on my laptop using a $10 key from Ebay
>From the new installation, use the microsoft tool to create a new W8.1 bootable USB after messing up the drivers and installing Lenovo botnets

So this is where it gets interesting
>usb is different size
>Check file size 1 by 1 and notice they differ in one file
>Rufus creates install.wim and Microsoft tool creates install.esd
>Install W8.1 again
>Partitions are different
>Rufus install created one extra 300MB partition, the other one, three; 300MB, 100MB and 128MB.

Why is this? Is it because I updated the UEFI/BIOS?

What's the worst that can happen when buying a "fishy" ebay key other then their whole MSDN/Volume Liscence getting rekt because re-selling is illegal?

I noticed the seller doesn't exist anymore but the key still works...

>>56421247
Yeah, obviously Pepsi paid me to advertise their shitty drink on 4chan. Obviously you're a coke shill being paid to demote Pepsi & Pepsi supporters!!!

You fucking moron, I had the tab open because it's new and I was looking it up for the first time. It might taste like shit for all I know, because I've never it before. My 2 cents on "1893": Pepsi knows that their cola is synonymous with "2nd place" and "not as good as Coke" and "shit" so they came up with a new name for a new cola, but the name is really shitty and unmemorable. I think it'll die pretty quickly.

By the way, all cola is garbage: makes you fat, you feel like shit, and it ruins your teeth. It's only worth indulging every once and awhile, like drugs and alcohol.

Good luck finding non-botnet iso which works with this.

>>56425229
It's fairly easy, you just need to google the filename of the iso and do a quick md5 check on it. When I downloaded it there were like 10 different sites hosting it in an open directory listing.

Almost none of the hashes can be verified - not without MSDN subscription. At which point, you can just download from MSDN directly.

>>56425490
You can verify them with Google. If you're getting to be that nitpicky pirated software seriously isn't for you.

>>56425519
I tried, but kike microsoft paywalls the hashes. The only route to get provably clean iso for freem seems to be downloading eval from MS. But you tell me, you're da pirate.

buy gentoo

>>56425576
A Google search of the hash for the specific iso you want will yield multiple forums where people have asked if the specific hash is legit. If you do not trust that then like I said, this probably isn't for you. Unless you want to waste your time and find someone who has access to tell you what everyone already knows and accepts.

It's not something you just learn, it's like everything : you have to use it a lot to become good at it.

So i need a legit windows, i can't just pirate it it's not gonna fly... So win 10 it is. It's also surely the last os i'll buy, in ten years i won't need to do such a drastic choice.

But then again in ten years everyone will have embrace win10 and seven will be like XP today. There will be some other meme OS to be against.
