You can't really pirate Windows. They offer download links for free for anyone to use. You can use it for free and while you have an "Activate Windows" watermark, it'd be fine. The only way to get Windows Pro would be to get a license key, which can't really be pirated also.

You can certainly pirate Windows, even Pro, insofar as activating it without paying for a license.
