I had always done this kind of sketchy stuff when I was younger. I didn't see the importance of buying windows when I could just take it from someone I knew. However, doing such a thing is really hard to do nowadays, and most people who do it usually have problems with their windows software as time passes. I stuck to buying new versions of windows from [mysoftwarekeys.com], and now I don't have any trouble when I try to update it or when I install something new. Tech has changed, and trust me, the schemes we used to do in early 2000 will not work now.
