So my pirated version of windows 8.1 suddenly stopped working for some reason... anyone have the know how of how to activate it?
I got it years ago from a torrent an presumed it'd stay activated permanently. (Maybe I deleted some files that I shouldn't have?)

you installed an update that disabled the crack. you're screwed. full reinstall time.

Nope, not a single update has ever been installed since I got it.
I think I might have deleted some folder that kept the crack in check or something

Anyways, that did the trick. Is there anyway to remove that windows version watermark?

reboot or refresh the desktop

a reboot did the trick, thanks anon
I am looking to install w7 or w8 or w9 or w10, for the lowest possibe cost ever, legally. Where are the best options for me? I do not want to go over 50 bucks. I want to be sure that it is safe, as in, it has not been modified by haxors.
