Hello, sorry to disturb your activities, can I use Windows that has not been activated, with the hope that in the future when I have money from creating game content on Windows, I will buy the license. Thank You.

Hi HaqiVN,

I'm Christine, I'll be happy to assist you. Yes, you can use an unactivated Windows for content creation, though there are some limitations:

* You'll be seeing the Activate Windows Watermark on your screen

* It will ask you to activate your Windows from time to time

* You won't be able to personalize your Settings

Once you're ready to buy a license, you can have it from MS Store or you may use the link below:
