It's not a loss at all. You rely on it every day, and most games require Windows to function. I don't consider it wasted since it powers your PC. If you don't mind the watermark, you can delete it by switching to Linux.
You receive approval since you don’t need to follow Microsoft’s terms, offering other options. Valve provides a Linux client and numerous titles, along with GOG.com, making piracy less appealing.
I'm not sure about Paul's Hardware and don't rely on Kinguin or similar services. I only suggested it after seeing others do the same, just to avoid blind trusts or other pitfalls. I purchased my Windows 10 key directly from Newegg at full price.
This bothers me because people use pirated versions of paid programs and software, while free and open-source options always exist. For example, Windows is free to use for games like CS:GO, so I prefer Steam OS instead. Office is another case—most people need it, but it's costly. I've tried trials, but they don't justify the cost. My laptop came with Office, but after formatting, it was removed. Some say it's strange, but now I can't access it without a license. I use LibreOffice instead, even though some think it's unusual. I'm frustrated because I feel it's unfair to pay for something that's available elsewhere. Thank you for not pirating.
in science research, neither MS nor open office can manage big data and university needs. Only peer-reviewed open source tools truly work. I'm a bit frustrated with LibreOffice's performance, but it seems the university expects LaTeX support and the Cran project handles large datasets well.
