Q. Is it legal to activate Windows 10 with a key found for free on the internet?
A: No, of course not — you didn’t “find” the key, as if it were dropped on a sidewalk or thrown in a trash bin.
Someone posted a Win10 product key online, and you (and who knows how many others) copied it. By analogy: If someone posted credit card account numbers online, do you think it’d be fine for you to copy them and start making purchases? Of course not!
Besides, there’s no need to steal: You don’t have to buy anything!
Microsoft will give you a free, legal, working copy of Win10! They’ll even give you free tools to help make your own Win10 installation DVD or Flash drive! See this page.
The free copy is 100%, for-real Windows 10 and is fully useable — and you can keep and use it forever.
If you further purchase and apply a product key, you’ll activate some desirable extra features, services, and add-ons; and some minor nag watermarks will go away.
But the core Win10 software is fully functional and will work fine even if you never, ever activate it.
You don’t have to buy anything!
