    But at least you don’t pay chrome, with windows instead you need to pay a license to use it.

        Using windows without a license is illegal.

        This is like saying you don’t need to have a driving license to drive a car because the car doesn’t complain about it.

      Debatable, considering all that’s stopping you from using it for free is a watermark and lack of personalization options.

      Plus, I’m using the Windows 10 Education key my college gave me, and my Windows 7 Home key from way back in the day would work too, as well as the Windows 8 key that came with my Surface Pro 3. The cost feels like a formality tbh.

        It’s illegal to do soo, not that much debatable.

        Yes a formality that you pay every time you buy a pc with windows pleinstalled and it’s an asshole to refund.
