      Well if you buy say a new laptop it will come with an OEM license so they make a sale unlike if you use your old windows 7/8/10 license on your unsuported laptop

        They don’t care about home users buying licenses. That’s probably less than 1% of license sales. As long as businesses are buying it they’re happy. You can activate Windows with a github script. Microsoft would have fixed that vulnerability if they really cared.
