Got the components to build a PC, but I now need to install Windows. Not sure about the process, but looking it up, I'll take the USB route. Will I need a product key if I download the ISO from their main site? Because the 4.4GB file was free. If so, is it a way to complete the process for free?

Ye it'll ask you to put in key but at the bottom there's an option that says "I don't have a product key" then you just continue set up like normal.

So you're saying Microsoft has nothing to counteract people from just skipping the product key part?

Your version of windows won't be activated. You'll be able to do pretty much everything, except a few minor things like changing the wallpaper I believe. Just go ahead with the install. You can get $25 keys on kinguin.

>Win.iso + rufus + USB
> boot from USB
> install

Slightly slower, but might solve USB boot/install problem: use a USB 2 flash drive on a USB 2 port; esp under Win7, sometimes the USB 3 hardware doesn't work.

Specify what windows (you) are attempting to install.

This might still work? Haven't heard if microsoft shut this down yet:

You Can Still Get Windows 10 for Free from Microsoft’s Accessibility Site
https://www.howtogeek.com/265409/you-can-still-get-windows-10-for-free-from-microsofts-accessibility-site/

If this still works, install any Win7 iso, upgrade to Win10. Your motherboard is now registered with it's own license. Best if you then re-install fresh Win10 from scratch to make sure any debris from upgrade is wiped and not cluttering up the place.

Read this:

Install windows 10 enterprise LTSB (least bloat)

use kmspico from the official mydigitallife forums
>>
>>61225166

Customers who use assistive technologies can upgrade to Windows 10 at no cost
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade

Make sure to install Win7 64-bit pro so you get win10 64-bt pro upgrade. etc.

i've always find that kmspico stuff sketchy as fuck, is it trustable?
>>
>>61225387
not really, no

it's basically a virus that fools the OS
