    What's a legal copy of Windows?
    No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power. — P.J. O'Rourke

    Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. — Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988)

    I have a legal copy on the gaming computer I built a while ago.
    After spending over two grand on the other stuff saving an additional hundred dollars didn't seem worth the potential downside.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    I have semi-legit Windows 7 on both my laptops, but both were Windows 7 Home versions & I used pirated codes to upgrade to the Ultimate versions. I wouldn't care about it, but I use Desktop Remote a lot & you can't remote in to a Home version machine. I know there are other remote programs you can use for free (Like Teamviewer) but I prefer Remote Desktop, as it's so simple & easy to set up/use.

    Now desktops are another story. I have 2 of those, & neither have ever had legit windows on them...

    That's not the only limiting factor in Windows 7 home (premium) (or not so premium in this case....), the weirdest limitation is that it will only use a maximum of 16gb of RAM. If more is installed it will see it but it is 'unavailable', forcing gamers or content creators who use more RAM to purchase a more expensive edition. One plus about Windows 10 is the feature limitations that were used in order to gain extra revenue with Windows 7 have gone, along with minesweeper, solitaire and the Windows Media Center.
