I wonder how many people actually pay for Windows, since you don't have to activate it in order to use.

I bought a Windows 10 key from eBay once for about five dollars, it didn't work so I called Microsoft support and they activated my copy for free, I don't think they care that much.

I help decommissioning old Windows PCs for a relative of mine. Whenever a device gets thrown in the bin I note down it's activation key.

Haven't had to pay for a Windows key in years ^^
