yes sir it is a pirate version of windows but i dont do any pirating on programs i only buy them , except windows i dont
well had to use another pc to download it , once i have entered the link u gave me endless pop up from that hijacking website
Piracy is not condoned here, Please get a genuine version of Windows or move on to a free alternative namely Linux.
no thank you , i will buy new hard drive then since u cant solve this problem
they more than likely can but are unable to get involved with a pirated OS. Its kind of breaking the law.
