How does windows 10 iso installation work?

[ty0worrallo]

Hi, I've finished my pc build couple seconds ago and I was wondering what happens when I boot windows with usb. I don't have the money right this second so does it let me pass the windows installation screen without key and then next week when I have money buy a product key and activate? So can I still use windows ISO without product key? ( without genuine )

Microsoft allows anyone to download Windows 10 for free and install it without a product key. It’ll keep working for the foreseeable future, with only a few small cosmetic restrictions. And you can even pay to upgrade to a licensed copy of Windows 10 after you install it.

If you install windows 10 on your system without a valid licence key.
You will be able to use it for 30 days Ty0worrallo.

After the 30 days is up if you have not entered a valid licence key windows 10 will be disabled until you do enter the valid key to unlock the OS again.

Yes, you can install and use windows 10 for a week without activation.
But you'll be constantly reminded to activate, windows update will stop functioning and you'll be unable to change desktop background.

And you didn't budget the software to run things in this new build?

You budgeted for the CPU, right? The RAM, case, GPU?
And of course, a few games?

But the OS? naaa....

I agree , it's always first in my budget.

Thank you, I will purchase I USB right now. Is 16gb enough?

More than enough.

I have 20 games from my previous build. No need for more.
