You actually paid for Windows?

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Oh yeah. Windows XP Professional 64 bit. Each "upgrade" used the same license and never really got screwy until 10. Won't go to 11.

Edit: Actually I don't think I even paid for that, I think it was an OEM license my dad got from his work.

You know what's shocking? I did. I ruined my desktop trying to set it up with some web server functions and wiping it somehow got rid of the license.

And so I paid to get rid of the watermark.. boo!

There you go one last scary story for the season.
