Hello people I have recently changed my CPU, Motherboard and RAMs so I was planning on reinstalling windows on my PC. Last time I installed Windows was probably or so 10 years ago and I can't remember for the life of me how I activated it.

Any recommendations on activating the new install? Or is it too much trouble nowadays and should I just buy a key?

Thank you for saying this! The Linux virtue signaling is so strong around here that it really is off putting. Like, we get it. You're a super duper computer person that's super duper smart and has made the smartest of smart choices in your OS.

I've been a programmer for 13 years now and can do anything from the command line yet I still think GNU/Linux is garbage as a desktop OS... it has nothing to do with being good with computers. The only good argument for Linux is a FOSS only mentality
