This was some 7 years ago or so. Buying new Windows will cost me a kidney, and I'm not confident enough in my computer skills to live comfortably with a pirated OS.
pirated OSes are super friendly. in fact, they are more friendly than official releases, because pirate versions make sure to make a life for users more comfortable by offering to disable in one click unnecessary windows things. if needed can give instructions on how to get it.
Correct,i live with my Pirated XP3 OS last 10 years, no problems.
And Thundy, your PC seems more or less like mine, i tried Windows 8 few years ago, it was super slow, so i reverted it back to XP, our PCs are to old for newish OS,stick to what works.
