Comment on Report: Microsoft quietly kills official way to activate Windows 11/10 without internet
CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 3 weeks agoHave you ever had to install a Windows OS without the internet because the network card you have doesn’t work without setting up, and setting up requires an OS? I’ve encountered this twice in my life. The first time I actually paid money to Microsoft for Windows 8, and it was such a disrespectful fuckaround I pirated the next one, and am dropping Windows altogether after that.

You’re talking about something different here. This is about activating windows once you’re using windows.
Windows doesn’t need to be activated at OS install time either.
