I am going to eventually use Linux (although need help with a good option for gaming and video library use), but I was curious how long I could use Windows unregistered for? What are the limitations of it not registered?

    it limits the Windows updates you’ll receive.

    I don’t think it does now does it? For the longest time ms wants to make sure all machines are up to date to try and keep, “always getting viruses” moniker away. I think maybe xp did that?

      Pretty sure it used to, but you may be right and my info is out if date. It’s been a minute since I ran commando with it.
