    China windows is probably somehow more than 100 percent pirated and comes with additional spying and maybe crypto mining in the background.

      I would love it if Valve secretly checked if Windows was genuine and put it in their stats.

        There is a MAS solution for windows that activates it on GitHub. I had to use it when the key I purchased a decade ago didn’t work when I upgraded my hardware. I didn’t want to pay a second time for an OS that was going to push Cortana, OneDrive, and ads at me.
