▲ 154 ▼ Best website for downloading a pirated copy of Windows? (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago* by Zeon@lemmy.world to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 62 comments fedilink hide all child comments I'm looking to test out Windows, but I don't want to download it without my VPN. I'm trying to use it in a virtual machine with GPU passthrough so I can play all my games. I also obviously don't want to pay for a copy. TIA!

I wouldn't install any if they paid me to, let alone pirate them. Most games without anticheat work fine. Sometimes there are issues with DRM, but the pirated version with the DRM bypassed will often work. permalink fedilink source parent
