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?
It is maybe time to try something else like Linux for exemple.
I’m an avid Void user, so I get the value of linux. But I cringe every time I see a comment like this. The OP has asked a specific question about a specific version of a specific OS. Someone asking about an OS should not be considered an invitation to tell them about another.

More like going on a car sub where someone is asking for a specific car for free, and someone replying “well I have a different car you can have for free”
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
I already have a laptop with linux on it that I use to try out some stuff I see on this community. But I use the Windows PC mainly for Everyday stuff and Gaming. So I’d rather keep the current OS but thanks for the suggestion anyways.
My pleasure ;)

Lol
Linux is a family of operating system running the Linux kernel.
You may be thinking of WSL, a subsystem for linux on windows.
