Whatever. If you want to violate the EULA that's on you. Encouraging others to violate the EULA on this forum is against the forum rules. The EULA says that in order to Windows 10 or 11 it has to be activated. Using the "free" version without activating it violates the EULA."properly activated with a genuine product key" or by "other authorized method."
The focus here is on activating with a genuine product key, not a pirated one.
What is "other authorized method"? When a company allows me to download it's software for free and also use it pretty much unhindered INDEFINITELY, I consider that as an authorization. And more so when it does nothing to stop me from using it, something that is extremely easy to do on untampered software.
Show me a case where Microsoft has gone after an individual or a small business for using its free software without activation. Until then, you are free to consider English as my 2nd, 3rd, or 'n'th language.
