I've always wondered about this, doesn't Microsoft know when people use this? Or is it just an anonymous number among legit ones and Microsoft can't tell a difference?

MS servers cannot tell the difference between where the HWID came from. If it’s there, MS treats it as legitimate. As if they issued it themselves.
What's the advantage over the existing supposedly permanent activation method?
Microsoft turned that one off completely for new builds of windows so the fact that it works is the main advantage.
Oh. I guess I got lucky then as I used that method last week.
just a different way to do that. the previous being affected by microsoft's back-end changes in their move to (finally) kill-off using win7/8 keys for new win10/11 activations.
Okay, I'm dumb. I've never used this. It seems it's a script. How safe is it? How exactly does it work? (i want to try it out lol)
This is to activate windows, so if your windows is already activated you probably dont need it.
Anyway, essentially you run the script in powershell and select the activation you want, currently option 1 is the new one from this post and should permanently activate windows.
Should be safe afaik, i've read that MS employees themselves use this script if their own tools fail. I've certainly never had an issue with it, but again they could have installed some spying software and i would be none the wiser. Gotta pray the github wizards audited it for us
Fucking A right. Can’t keep a good pirate down! 🏴☠️
Does anyone know what discord server this is?
Edit: Don’t just downvote me. At least tell me.
