Hello, your current setup involves installing Windows updates manually onto a pendrive using the installer. I'm not sure about the legality of charging others for weekly updates, but it depends on how you distribute and license the content. If you're offering a paid service, make sure you have proper rights to the material and comply with any applicable laws. It's always wise to consult a legal expert before proceeding.

Likely not. Large corporations tend to react strongly when others profit from their offerings.

Large firms may attempt to argue illegality, yet locally it is likely permissible. In Australia, violating competition regulations involves stopping the resale of goods or restricting how consumers handle their purchases.

But software isn't a tangible item you own outright. You pay for permission to use it, which can change without notice. Windows and games don't give you permanent rights—they offer temporary access that might end suddenly. Updates happen regularly, often weekly, but not every week may have a new version available.

Purchasing before receiving the EULA treats it as a product under Australian law. Buying from a store is fine. Make sure you review the license agreement before buying, or the terms may be invalid.
