        Ya, then just install the N version. It’s not some weird region locked thing. If you tell Microsoft you don’t have a product key, you’ll get a list of windows versions you can install, and you just select the N version.

          They give windows away for free? If you don’t have a key wouldn’t they tell you to buy it?

            Windows put a watermark on your desktop and locks you out of personalization if you don’t pay.

            Watermark can be disabled with a simple registry editor change. Or the entirety of windows can just be activated with a single command prompt command.

            Even if you’re not into pirating, you can use windows without a key without issues. They honestly don’t care.

              Their main income is from businesses. They don’t care what an individual user does.

              That said, most motherboards already have a license key for Windows attached. Or you can just use a Windows 7 or 8 key you have laying around. I believe they wanted to stop being able to do this, but it still isn’t implemented.
