There are many KMSs out on the internet that offer you free Windows 10 (any version) activation, but my question is, are they legal?

    Hey IdoRon,

    I'm an Independent Advisor here to help.

    Solutions like KMSpico to bypass legitimate activation spoofing a Key Management Services server is illegal. Consumers should not endeavor on activating Windows through those means. Activation servers (KMS) through an organization or educational institution is legal, and should be used for those intents and purposes.

    Hope this helps.

    No, they are not legal. Be aware of those KMS, some of them might include virus/malware that might damage your PC.

    Regards.
