Hello, I'm not a fan of pirating when it's unecessary, in fact I've legit windows 10 on my PC, legit games etc.

I'd like to give a new life to my old Windows 7 notebook for when I travel or I want to work outside my room, and Microsoft has made VERY expensive to upgrade nowadays to the most recent OS (s).

I'd like to ask, since most posts I've read are old, what's the best way to pirate Windows 10 currently?

Download an official Windows 10 iso from Microsoft and install it as usual (without a product key). Then, take a look at: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts

Easy. :)

this is the most reliable method I had found, I, thought it may have been patched recently though

I just used this last week with a Windows 11 install. It still works. :)

btw all I have to do is download the ISO from massgrave, burn it on a RW DVD, install it like I did with win7 and then do what the github page says?

Or create a bootusb instead of burning a cd. Additionally, I recommend not connecting it to the internet during installation, as it skip's using a Microsoft account (at least on win10 it does).
