Impressive! Using a Windows 7 trial to install Windows 10 is quite clever. That’s definitely a workaround!
Thread processed. Encouraging piracy and methods to obtain Windows by violating policies violate Community Guidelines. @hiimFred the store just attempted to sell, you can install Windows 10 without activation.
I just talked to a salesperson and a tech expert, both saying it’s not allowed for them to install a key without knowing its source. They suggested getting a sticker or an email with the license, not just the activation code. I must admit, the salesperson acted quickly and linked me straight to the technician right away (I didn’t want to handle this alone), and then the technician seemed uncertain and distracted. He was clearly under pressure.
I understand you can handle this easily, but I’m not sure about the details. A friend is relocating for college and needs a new PC. The hardware store handling Windows setup seems like the top choice. They’ve reached an agreement to install Windows under a Kinguin license.
