Pirated Microsoft Software

Does anyone in the community have any familiarization with a website called

getintopc.com? It's a website where these free to download iso mirrors containing

many versions of Microsoft Windows are distributed. There is a good probable 

chance that these iso files could have been pirated from any unknown source(s)

and been places onto this Get Into PC website. As far as getting free Microsoft

operating systems at a click of the mouse...Well, good reckoning that this free

download escapade is harboring pirated media onto a computer system. Of

course, there's no real proof if Get Into PC is harboring pirated iso files containing

Microsoft OS's. But I would caution others to steer clear away from online distributers

who have this promise of free Microsoft operating system downloads. If it sounds

too good to be true, it probably is!

    How so very true! I kinda thought these random websites harbored pirated and illegally obtained copies of Windows. Thank goodness I own a legitimate and properly licensed copy of Windows 10 Home! Many thanks for your response!!! ;)

    As you said, since Microsoft provides original Windows for download at an evaluation period of 90 days it kind of funny people still downloading from such websites instead.

    Why would anyone give you something for free? I'm pretty sure all these ISO's from such websites have been modified for malicious purposes.
