Operating system for laptop - buy?

Question

Windows

I bought a laptop without an OS, installed Windows 10 - downloaded it from the off site. Asks to activate, highlights at the bottom of the monitor, and that's it? What is the reason for this liberal policy? Why is it allowed to use without activation? What if I don't activate it?

This is entirely up to you.

Why is it allowed to use without activation?

To use it is beneficial for them.

What if I don't activate it?

Perhaps one day it will turn into a pumpkin. Or maybe not.
