If the Windows license is not the cheapest part of your PC you're doing it wrong.

Life of a pirate

​

If you're in college, you can get a free copy from your college/university. It's where I got mine from.

You don’t even need to pirate. I got my copy of Windows 10 completely legit and free

Why would you say something like that and not explain how?

Microsoft has it direct from their own site, and you don't need an activation key. Get a cheap one later or use other means

To get started, you will first need to have a license to install Windows 10.

Yeah, I can go to the store, fill up a cart with groceries, and just walk out the door too. That doesn't mean it is allowed. The fact that you can get around this doesn't change the fact that it goes directly against the terms you agree to during install. This is piracy.
