Reviewing the terms doesn't imply it's okay. Microsoft profits from people using W10 without many DNS blocks, yet charging for its use despite this seems unfair.
You're not sure what you're discussing. The developer of TrueCrypt was unknown, using a pseudonym online. It's thought he worked for the NSA. In 2014 he revealed the software was risky and released a fix that only allowed decryption, not creation. Since then, VeraCrypt emerged as an alternative. Avoid TrueCrypt. (And honestly, VeraCrypt itself has some concerns because it's essentially the same product.) Ready to try out Windows? I like having my taskbar at the top, but sometimes it lands under it instead of on top. (I've never seen this on any Linux desktop.) How do I prevent that from happening? I don't want a keyboard shortcut, nor do I want the taskbar hidden or moved. I just want it to stay in one place. Or... I want consistent fonts on my desktop, but when I right-click the Start menu, taskbar, desktop, or icons like Edge and Mail, the fonts and UI change unexpectedly? How do I fix this? This wouldn't work well on Linux. You're used to seeing it that way.
Windows 10 is completely free to use. I just installed a brand new version today, and everything functions without any cost. No license required. But if you skip the purchase, many customization features—like changing themes or backgrounds—get hidden and won’t work. There’s also a watermark and occasional prompts to activate it. Still, the operating system runs smoothly.
Note: Windows 10 Pro is listed around $6 on eBay from sellers with millions of units sold and mostly positive feedback. It’s one of the most affordable options available.
