Hey, so basically I have an issue. I downloaded Windows from a site called Zamunda (legit site by the way) and put it up on USB and installed it on my new PC. Now I have this Activate Windows watermark and It triggers me so much.
My question is: Is there anyway to get rid of it without paying? I've tried the regedit ways and so on, but nothing seemed to work. Any suggestions?

As above, you need a legitimate key to activate Windows. If you have a legit key there is no need to download Windows from any other site apart from directly from Microsoft. Why would they go to the effort of hosting a copy of Windows you can download directly from Microsoft, a trustworthy source would just direct you to Microsoft. I would not trust that version of Windows is clean from spyware or other nasties.

Zamunda, you say?
'legit'?

It is either:
1. A torrent site.
or
2. A fictional country, depicted in an Eddie Murphy movie.

In either case, it is NOT a legit place to obtain a Windows install. Period.

So, the ONLY assistance you'll get here is:
  1. A full wipe and reinstall of Windows, from the only valid source, Microsoft. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
  2. Purchasing a valid Windows 10 license to Activate it. Generally around $100 USD.


Closing this, to prevent people from getting themselves in trouble.
