Can I legally use unactivated Windows 10?

Question

Windows

Hello! Can I legally use unactivated Windows 10? I'm not talking about pirates, but simply non-activated ones. There are not all the possibilities there, but that's it ... I want to know exactly, is it legal?

Answer 1

Well, there is a license agreement, did you read it when you accepted it?

You may use this software only if you are properly licensed and the software has been properly activated using a genuine product key or other authorized means

Answer 2

Of course you can.
The legality of use is determined by the license - the permission of the copyright holder. If you have a license, use it legally. And to activate or not it is already at your discretion.
The activation procedure is simply enabling additional features.

Answer 3

It is quite legal only if you have the appropriate license. No one forces a legally acquired license to be activated. If a license is not available, then the non-activated version cannot be used. Yes, it somehow works, but it's still illegal.

Answer 4

You can at home. You can't at the office. Thunder will rumble.
