content: Can you reliably pirate a functioning Windows 10? Hi, I have a lot of questions.  Sooner or later I will have to upgrade to Windows 10 (to use all the applications/games not available on Linux / IOS). I am very reluctant to do this however due to the spying / info collecting that seems very difficult to turn off. I want to use applications/games only available to Windows but I don't want my information to be collected, so the only option I see is pirating. Are there any other options I've missed?  So is it possible to pirate a version of Windows 10 that's reasonably functional? I've seen Windows 10 on torrent sites but is it hassle free to use them? How does one update a pirated version? Are pirated versions significantly less safe to use (viruses etc)?  Sorry for being such a tech novice and thank you in advance!
