So I had a weird pirated version of windows and I immediately installed a new version through the official windows media creation tool and activated it immediately with a code I purchased online from a trusted site.

is the old windows completely removed now? I’m worried because I activated the windows while the old pirated ones was still technically on my PC. Only after I activated it, did the format start.

Did I make a mistake by activating it before formatting?
