I don't know if it still works, but I found a "cheat" for free windows back in the day that I even upgraded into 10 with lol

My friend had an "upgrade" code for XP that he gave me, so when I installed windows and tried to use the code it gave me the whole "this is an upgrade code not a new code" kind of message. I rebooted the PC and used the same installer to "upgrade" my newly installed windows XP to windows XP. Same install, just did it again basically. It then accepted the code as valid lol

Today's kids use the activation scripts on GitHub which is owned by Microsoft. Just open cmd and run

irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex

It will download the code storef here: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts and run it, then windows is activated.

I used it for the office suite. I should really look at using it for an OS upgrade one day
