    I have an unactivated windows computer I’ve been using for 3 years, it works fine and even gets updates it just says “activate windows” in the corner of the screen.

      It used to be it also wouldn’t let you change your wallpaper, but I don’t know if that’s still a thing and there were ways around it.

        Probably true, but that particular computer just runs a Plex server and a few other things so the wallpaper doesn’t matter to me

        I suspect that’s not a mission critical function for someone stuck on another planet with no internet.
