        Seems minor. If they wanted people to pay for it, they would block games since thats what most young people use windows for…

          They aren’t trying to prevent regular people from using unlicensed Windows, it’s mostly for corporations. As mentioned before, they are better off letting ppl use it and gather data and stuff. Keep people dependent on the OS.
