Cheeky way to get windows for free?

I mean if you already bought the computer, they're really just giving it back to you and I'm pretty sure you can just download it.

I was mostly being snarky. Windows only comes preinstalled if you buy a full setup. All my stuff is either Mac laptops or custom towers so I always have to acquire a new windows license when I setup a new build for myself or my partner

No, yeah I was just being snarky too. I guess builders(probably gamere) are the only real retail windows buyers lol

Just install it without a key.
