    Windows not activated Legality

    At section 5

    It states the following :

    Authorized Software and Activation. You are authorized to use this software only if you are properly licensed and the software has been properly activated with a genuine product key or by other authorized method.

    So Is it legal to use windows 10 without activation ?

    If not , why is it almost free and you can skip entering product key during installation ?

    and why does Microsoft enable us to install without a product key if it is not legal to use it without activation?

    oem activation key

    Right - especially if a newer board.

    That said, if doing a re-install on a totally different motherboard, OEM licenses are not "legally" transferable.
